A red light camera system in Italy cheated drivers out of $170 million dollars in fraudulent fines.
More than 100 people, including police officers, are being investigated as part of the fraud … it is now claimed the lights were rigged to change from yellow to red in three seconds instead of the regulation five or six seconds.
Instead of an average 15 fines a day in some places, the figure jumped to more than 1,000.
More about the system, made by KRIA, here.
