Ammon News - Italy plans to stop sending out speed camera photos out of privacy concerns, the Italian Transport Ministry said on Saturday.

The ministry said drivers caught speeding would only be sent fine notices to their homes.

Authorities will only use images taken by speed cameras if a driver lodges a formal objection to a fine.

The Corriere della Sera newspaper reported that the decree has been approved by Italy's data protection authorities.

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.
