Four youths from Canberra, Australia pulled off a trick of
breathtaking
bravado in order to gain revenge on a mobile speed camera van
operating
in the area. Three of the group approached the van and distracted the
operator's attention by asking a series of questions about how the
equipment worked and how many cars the operator could catch in a day.
Meanwhile, the fourth musketeer sneaked to the front of the van and
unscrewed its number plate. After bidding the van operator goodbye,
the friends returned home, fixed the number plate to their car and drove
through the camera's radar at high speed - 17 times. As a result, the automated billing system issued 17 speeding tickets to itself.

Go Aussies!!" :yeah:

:2thumbsup Reminds me of what one of my mates done back in S.Africa he got bust doing 100k in an 60k zone. What he then proceeded to do was double back on the cops but one block up, he then sneaked through a couple of gardens and laid in wait. As soon as the cop caught another speeding vehicle he ran upto the cops vehicle and stole his fine book.
Personally I thought what a good idea as the cop then had no evidence of him speeding whatsoever!

Anyway to cut it short he proceeded to go and brag about it at the local,
PISS sure can make you stupid at times !

He ended up paying dearly for that stunt.
:stupid:
