Apology of crime
Fleximan has become something of a hero on social media, particularly among discerning motorists frustrated by the presence of speed cameras, considered as a means of generating revenue rather than ensuring road safety. The prosecutor of Treviso, Marco Martaniwarns that in this case it could constitute an apology for a crime.
