Smart Administrative Punishment: a Slippery Slope of Automated Decision-Making and its Economic Incentives in Public Law
Original language description
The increasing automation of administrative punishment within smart cities marks a transformative shift in public law enforcement. While automated decision-making enhances efficiency and consistency, it raises critical concerns about its true incentives and adherence to the principles of administrative punishment. This article explores the mechanisms and legislative frameworks enabling smart administrative punishment, focusing on traffic enforcement and the fiscal incentives that shape policy. It critically examines the risks of revenue-driven enforcement, erosion of legal safeguards, and distortion of administrative priorities. By analyzing cases such as the objectivization of vehicle owner liability in the Czech Republic, the article shows how poorly regulated automation may compromise legal principles like proportionality, due process, and deterrence. It argues that while efficiency is a legitimate goal, economic rationality should not overshadow justice, calling for a balanced approach that integrates automation with safeguards against misuse.
