Because flash photos have repeatedly put traffic offenders in unpleasant situations in recent years – because the photos also showed other people who perhaps should not have been in the car – Italy is now refraining from sending flash photos. Many marriages are said to have ended in a flash. Meanwhile, all of Italy is looking for “Fleximan”…
In Italy, photos of speed checks are no longer sent to protect privacy. This is evident from a new decision from the Ministry of Transport, Public Works and Water Management, which was announced on Saturday.
Exceptions only if speeding offenders object
Under this scheme, motorists and motorcyclists who were speeding should only receive a fine. The evidence photos from cameras, which also show faces, remain with authorities. They may only be used if speeders object. The scheme also applies to foreign holidaymakers caught on Italian roads.
Italy seeks speed trap terrorist ‘Fleximan’
By the way, we are still looking for the “scare” speed controller who has been cutting off speed cameras with a cutting machine (a so-called Flex, mind you) for months. He is often hailed as the ‘Robin Hood of drivers’. Many motorized Italians believe that the state is blatantly exempting them.
Many imitators: “Fleximan is on the rise”
In any case, ‘Fleximan’ is ‘hardworking’ and working tirelessly to put an end to speed checks. Sometimes the police found short confession letters, such as ‘Fleximan sta arrivando’ (‘Fleximan is coming’). The trail of destruction now stretches from South Tyrol to Calabria, so it’s clear: Fleximan is more than one. Half a dozen public prosecutors are now working on this.
