Italy’s Transport Ministry has announced that drivers caught speeding will only be sent fine notices to their homes. There had been reports of speed camera photos breaking up relationships and marriages.

The newspaper said there had been various reports of people’s relationships, marriages or business deals failing after speed camera photos revealed that someone not expected to be traveling with them was in their car.
In Germany they just always censor shotgun seat with a black rectangle. Precisely because of the same issue, someone’s wife got hold of photo taken by the speed camera, with the husband and another woman on it, the guy sued and won privacy infringement claim.
I’ve heard about this happening everywhere there are speed cameras for like 2 decades, yet every government doesn’t fix it until they’re sued (or a pollie is caught out with their mistress).
