暴力団関係者であることを理由にETCカードの利用申し込みを断られたのは高速道路の利用を違法に妨げるものだとして、高速道路会社の対応を無効だと訴えた訴訟の判決が10日、福岡地裁であった。

丹下将克裁判長は原告側の請求を棄却した。

原告は暴力団幹部の男性。被告はNEXCO東日本などの高速道路会社6社と、その株式を保有し行政指導をする権限を持つ国。

訴状によると、原告は2023年7月、6社が共同で設置する事務局に対し、クレジットカードがなくても使えるETCパーソナルカードの利用申し込みをした。

申込書で暴力団関係者ではないことを示す文章を二重線で消し、その他の欄は不備なく記載した。翌月、受け付けることができないとの通知が届いたという。

原告側は、高速道路は公共用物であり、2030年度にはすべてのインターチェンジでETCカード専用化がなされる見込みだと主張。暴力団関係者というだけで高速道路を使えないのは、特定の社会的集団に属することを理由とした不合理な差別だ、などとして違法だと訴えていた。
