What's the purpose of this? Opening a way to make the cameras going rogue and starting to fine everybody in a particular period of time to create massive discontent, administration chaos, and unrest? maybe just before an election? Aren't this cameras connected with some government computers?
Perhaps. What actually happened is that we have a demented interior minister in a unbelievably corrupt but also pro-russian government. So it's really anybodys guess if it's just pure corruption (the interior ministry wanting to buy some traffic cameras and someone bribing to get the contract while buying the cheapest they could find which were these russian ones) or indeed some covert russian operation (the responsible minister wouldn't know about it, he's too dumb for that, but there might be other government people who did know). In any case in a functioning state this would end up with the minister leaving his post at least. Not in Slovakia.
