Abstract

Abstract: This research evaluates the ruling issued in case No. 11571-2019-00295, which resolved the controversies related to the legality of the photo-enforcement system implemented by the Municipality of Loja. The judicial decision constitutes a milestone for the defense of citizens' rights, as it determined the violation of due process, principles of legality, and legal certainty. The research aims to identify the legal foundations of the ruling, its impact on citizens, and its institutional relevance, demonstrating how judicial oversight guarantees respect for the Constitution and the rule of law. The methodology employed was qualitative, based on the analysis of legal, doctrinal, and scientific sources, with a study of public information and citizen perception. The research study concludes that the ruling strengthens legal certainty and the obligation of public servants to act in accordance with the law, promoting transparency and trust in public administration. It also demonstrates the importance of strengthening citizen oversight to prevent future violations of fundamental rights.
