Ok....it's not a joke but thought i'd post it here.
This was a newspaper article.
Breathtaking bravado
foils speed camera
QC received a very amusing although
naughty e-mail from a spy at the
Department of Transport this week. Our
mate informs us that four youths from
Canberra recently pulled off a trick of
breathtaking bravado 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 would catch
in a day. Meanwhile, the fourth
muskateer 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 the car and drove
through the camera's radar at high
speed - 17 times," our transport spy
writes. "As a result, the automated
billing system issued 17 speeding tickets
to itself. Go Aussies!"
