This guy probably thought it was a good idea at the time: mooning the speed camera ...
A front seat car passenger was photographed baring his backside at a speed camera in Northumberland. [...] His behaviour has been labelled as "dangerous and offensive" by road safety campaigners.
Police may take action against the man for public order offences and not wearing a seat belt.
"Not only is it disrespectful, but distasteful and offensive, particularly to children who may have been exposed to this nonsense."
Imagine all the children who have now seen that picture, as compared to the miniscule number of children who may have seen the live mooning.
Do they have nothing better to do in Northumberland?
They blurred the licence plate when they posted it in public. The licence plates are how they identify the cars for tolling purposes.
They can track the driver down. I just don't know how they'd force him to betray his cheeky friend.
They can't.
When they say "Police may take action against the man for public order offences and not wearing a seat belt." they mean "if there's enough hooplah whipped up over this and enough 'concerned parent' groups sign enough petitions then we'll try."
What a waste of time.
