Fleximan, the unknown person who knocked down speed cameras in the province of Rovigo in the Veneto at night and was then imitated in other regions, from Liguria to Emilia Romagna, was identified and reported by the police. Exalted on social media as a sort of hero for having knocked down the speed detector poles with a hose, and harshly criticized by the families of the road victims, he is investigated for damage and suspected of having scored, with the same clean cutting technique with the hose on the pole supporting the equipment – then replicated elsewhere, at least five shots. It would have been the last episode that framed him, that of Rosolina, 50 kilometers east of the Venetian capital, last January 3 at 9.30 pm along the Statale 309 Romea at kilometer 71.760. Previously he had struck in Bosaro on 19 May and 19 July last year, in Corbola and Taglio di Po on Christmas Eve. This is a 42-year-old man, originally from Padua but resident in Polesine. The footage from the area surveillance cameras should have been decisive in the identification. The Carabinieri of Adria and the Mobile Radio Operations Unit carried out a search of his home, seizing some elements, equipment and objects that should be useful to the investigators. In the meantime, however, his battle against speed detectors was won in court with the decision of the Court of Cassation on the appeal of a lawyer from Treviso against a fine for exceeding the limits which dictates that the equipment must receive double approval, authorization and approval, a procedure that would put all speed cameras out of action. Although appeal to the judge is not so convenient, unless there are super fines.
