The New York Times reports that T-Redspeed, our favorite red light and speed camera company, is now being investigated in Italy for fraud and the creator of the system is under house arrest."Prosecutors in Verona maintain that Mr. Arrighetti committed fraud when he supplied his devices to public administrations around Italy because he declared that they had been ratified by the Ministry of Transport,” wrote the Independent. “In fact, while the cameras had been ratified, the computer hardware that registered offenses had not been."
It is suspected that more than 1 million drivers were fraudulently charged for running red lights, costing drivers as much as $170 million.
