Talking Aussie speed camera stunt

I had to laugh:

"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 numberplate. 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".

Now that's a trick I'll have to try

I'm amazed that it hasn't been done in this country with police car reg no etc.

Before a smart **** says anything about you can't get a plate without a V5 or drivers license...wrong! All you do is order a plate that's for "display purposes only"

Cool

or go to some unscrupulous plate maker at Blackbushe market and buy one.

Getting reg plates is not hard.
