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 good-bye, 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.
