UK Man Facing Fines for Mooning Traffic Cam
Free advice from Switched: Don't moon traffic cameras. Not only is it juvenile, but it could quite possibly get you in trouble with the law, at least in the UK. Yes, that image on the right is of a man's rear end. The man thought he'd have a little fun with the speed camera in Cramlington, England, but we guess he was unaware that the police could snap a picture at anytime with the camera, not just when a car speeds by. Police now have the joker's license plate and registration and will be pursuing legal action, though he won't be facing prosecution. Instead, authorities will be issuing fines for public indecency and not wearing a seat belt.
All that just cause this guy thought he was funny. [Source: BBC, via: Boing Boing]

What has to go through your mind to make you think it is okay to moon a system designed to gather enough information to find you. Thats like robbing a bank with a photo copy of your drivers license taped to your shirt.

How dreadful...someone finally decided to say "no" to 1984. Hey, Big Brother, I hope you're offended.
