- ÍtemAcceso AbiertoAnálisis de la vulneración del principio de presunción de inocencia en las sanciones por contravenciones de tránsito en Ecuador.(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2024) Merchan Chicaiza, Edwin Geovanny; Monsalve Robalino, Bernardo Xavier; 0105743306The Comprehensive Organic Penal Code regulates traffic infractions using an expedited procedure that classifies into two types: firstly, when the alleged offender contests the citation within a three-day period, and secondly, when acceptance is presumed. This issue arises from the violation of the principle of innocence when fines are imposed without contestation of the citation issued by a traffic officer, automatically considered the individual responsible for the infraction. Therefore, the law does not respect the principle of innocence since the legislation clearly stipulates that innocence can only be lost after a conviction. Thus, it violates not only the presumption of innocence, but also all the norms and principles that guarantee the due process contemplated in the Constitution, International Treaties, and other Codes. The research focuses on evidencing the infringement upon the presumption of innocence when the fine, considered a penalty, is issued by a traffic officer without a conviction.
