– Nulle all fines issued so far for passing the speed limits , refunds to citizens who have already paid return of the license to those who have lost because of speed cameras. This is the scenario that could materialize after a ruling by the Constitutional Court , which accuses the lack of refurbishment and calibration of equipment. A decision that jeopardizes the accounts of Italian municipalities.
” Any measuring instrument , especially electronic – we read in the motivations of the consultation – is subject to changes in its characteristics and then to changes in measured values due to aging. ” For the judges, therefore, not a ‘ appropriate maintenance speed cameras are not reliable.
The ruling given by “ La Stampa ” puts an end in a process that began in Mondovi, in the province of Cuneo, where two citizens had appealed to the justice of the peace against a fine for speeding; considered the sanction illegal and blamed all ‘ imprecision of detection . Their determination did not stop in front of the dissenting opinions obtained in all levels of courts until, on April 29, the consultation has overturned everything.
Happy motorists at risk the coffers of Commons. In the financial statements of the latter, in fact, the “fines” for years is one of the main entrances, as the figures: in 2010 Italy, according contribuenti.it, has increased the number of fines of 987%. Only in Milan, for example, the camera can afford to cash out up to 480 thousand euro per day.
The law, before this judgment, required calibration equipment only purchase. Now the Prefecture must demonstrate that the controls have been periodic, otherwise the river of appeals of motorists will only be accepted.
