More grist for the windmill. I haven't seen this posted here before:

As an aside, I wonder what the benefit of "3-d images of vehicles" would be for an enforcement camera?

Thanks for the link. This highlights a huge problem with speed / red light cameras. The greedy private companies who are largely unsupervised get to maintain public laws and issue fines to drivers who have little recourse.

It should not be the job of private companies to enforce public laws. This needs to stay within the realm of the government, so that it can enforce the laws with complete transparency and indifference. Private companies enforcing the laws are just inviting abusers and scammers to try to cash in, at the cost of ordinary drivers.

Shocking, just shocking

Corruption in Italy??

That's shocking.

Good thing that could never happen in the USofA.

/sarcasm mode off

This whole mess here is a due process class action suit waiting to happen. I wonder what the contracts municipalities have with these companies say in the event of such a lawsuit... just who has indemnified whom.
