In Perugia, central Italy, drivers fined for running a red light at one of the intersections, they destroyed cameras installed there under the cover of night. The fury of the drivers sparked suspicions, that at this intersection, local authorities have deliberately cut the yellow light display time. For running a red light at this intersection in just one month, she got tickets 20 thousand drivers. This number is huge, if it weighs in, that Perugia counts 160 thousand inhabitants.
Everyone was interested in the lights, including lawyers. One of them, with a stopwatch in his hand, fixed it, that the yellow light lasts only three seconds there, instead of five, like everywhere else.
Many punished drivers took the case to court, but there were also such, who, under the cover of night, destroyed the device, photographing lawbreakers.
Perugia from 60 the left has ruled for years. The center-right opposition is suspicious, that the forced tickets were to repair the city's finances.
