Rigged red-light cameras net $170 million for crooked authorities

A red light camera system in Italy cheated drivers out of $170 million dollars in fraudulent fines.

More than 100 people, including police officers, are being investigated as part of the fraud ... it is now claimed the lights were rigged to change from yellow to red in three seconds instead of the regulation five or six seconds.

Instead of an average 15 fines a day in some places, the figure jumped to more than 1,000.
