Can anybody confirm if this is true?
It's GOT to be a wind up...........
In Britain, making a defiant gesture toward an inanimate object is now a crime: Annoyed by defiant gesture, speed camera issues ticket to non-speeding driver.
A UK court this week severely penalized a motorist for the crime of showing disrespect to a mobile speed camera van. The device had photographed Sean Toehill, 21, driving 22 MPH in a 40 MPH zone but police became enraged when they noticed he had given the camera a "V-sign." Officers were dispatched to his home two days later to present charges which the Cupar Sheriff Court in Fife, Scotland upheld on Monday. The court suspended Toehill's right to drive for a year and imposed a £90 fine.
