Non-approved speed cameras seized: here are the municipalities where fines can be contested

Several speed cameras have been seized by the Cosenza Highway Patrol following investigations delegated by the local Public Prosecutor's Office. These devices, although authorized and operating on provincial and national roads, are not approved. Let's look at all the details of this story together.

### Speed cameras seized: the details

Following the investigations, the Cosenza Highway Patrol proceeded to seize the speed cameras called T-Exspeed v 2.0. These devices were found to be without approval and without the prototype of the detection system, essential criteria for verifying the legitimacy of the reported violations.

### Risk of damage to the treasury

Furthermore, these speed cameras – owned by private companies – are often rented to local authorities. This can lead to the risk of financial damage in the event of an appeal by users, who often obtain the cancellation of the ticket and compensation for legal costs from the judges. For this reason, the traffic police have reported the legal representative of the contracting company at liberty for the crime of fraud in public supply.

### Invalidity of speed detections

The investigations also established the illegitimacy of the system for detecting speed violations carried out with the T-EXSPEED v 2.0 instrumentation. This system, composed of fixed stations located along state road 107 and provincial road 234 in the province of Cosenza and state road 106, detects both average and punctual speed.

### Seizure on a national scale

Finally, the seizure involved equipment installed throughout the national territory, including the municipalities of Venice, Vicenza, Modena, Reggio Emilia, Pomarico, Cerignola, Pianezza, Piadena, Formigine, Arcola, Carlentini, and San Martino in Pensilis.
