Why Speed Cameras Are A Bad Idea

The Truth About Cars tells a tale of corruption and greed among top city officials, the cops and private contractors who fleeced the drivers of Caserta, Italy with rigged speed cameras.
An investigation is underway into possible fraudulent conduct on the part of local officials in thirty-three municipalities as well as fourteen private companies who operated the equipment under contract. In addition to seizing camera equipment, documents were taken from the offices of both photo enforcement companies and local police chiefs and mayors.
