This guy breaks the law and then like any other individual that refused to take accountability buys the police department's website (which I'm sure served as an informative resource for many in that area) to lash out. It's childish. What's the end objective here? To have the local government remove the cameras so he can due 95 in 25mph zone and kill or severely injure somebody. Real hero. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Adam]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 9th 2010 10:49AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Man Avenges Speeding Ticket by Buying Expired Police Department URL]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2010/06/09/man-avenges-speeding-ticket-by-buying-expired-police-department/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2010/06/09/man-avenges-speeding-ticket-by-buying-expired-police-department/</guid><description><![CDATA[How can you talk responsibility when the cops installing cameras at intersections or wherever to catch speeders? I see police are being responsible by letting cameras do their work.<br><br>And safety? Please. Everyone knows these aren't about keeping drivers and pedestrians safe.  It's just another way for municipalities to rake in the dough.  I know these are tough times economically, but don't confuse public safety with revenue.<br><br>Oh and please keep the holier-than-thou to a minimum, unless you've NEVER SPED IN YOUR LIFE.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Giles]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 9th 2010 12:05PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Man Avenges Speeding Ticket by Buying Expired Police Department URL]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2010/06/09/man-avenges-speeding-ticket-by-buying-expired-police-department/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2010/06/09/man-avenges-speeding-ticket-by-buying-expired-police-department/</guid><description><![CDATA[umm.... we was on a highway.

When Brian slipped up, he got a speeding ticket. When the PD slipped up, they got their domain jacked. Just as the speeder is responsible for obeying traffic laws to keep his license, the PD must follow the rules provided by GoDaddy.com (ie pay the people and keep your crap) to keep their domain. Police take opportunity to punish Brian for speeding and hopefully teach him a lesson... Brian takes opportunity to punish Police for negligence of their property and hopefully will teach them a lesson as well. All you have is two groups of people that made a mistake and must pay for it. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[adamarras]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 16th 2010 10:23AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Man Avenges Speeding Ticket by Buying Expired Police Department URL]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2010/06/09/man-avenges-speeding-ticket-by-buying-expired-police-department/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2010/06/09/man-avenges-speeding-ticket-by-buying-expired-police-department/</guid><description><![CDATA[This guy is my hero.

If that's the case, the camera should've PREVENTED him from speeding in the first place in the same way that a physical police officer would pull him over and issue him a citation. I bet after you get a speeding ticket you watch your speed like a hawk on your way to where ever you are.  Instead, he was allowed to continue speeding for miles and miles and received a citation in the mail days later. I don't understand how this is a tool for public safety. The only logical argument you could use is that they are a deterrent, which they obviously were not in this case. <br><br>I do agree ,though, that he's being a little childish about the whole deal. He broke the law; he should pay his due and move on. <br><br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Dan]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 9th 2010 5:43PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Man Avenges Speeding Ticket by Buying Expired Police Department URL]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2010/06/09/man-avenges-speeding-ticket-by-buying-expired-police-department/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2010/06/09/man-avenges-speeding-ticket-by-buying-expired-police-department/</guid><description><![CDATA[Ian, GET OUT OF THE FAST LANE!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Big Steve]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 9th 2010 5:43PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Man Avenges Speeding Ticket by Buying Expired Police Department URL]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2010/06/09/man-avenges-speeding-ticket-by-buying-expired-police-department/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2010/06/09/man-avenges-speeding-ticket-by-buying-expired-police-department/</guid><description><![CDATA[Police departments *should* be disrupted.

What are you complaining about. You take the chance, get caught, you pay. Where is the injustice. I get tickets too. At least there are no demerits. And I have to laugh at all these concerns over the safety and statistics around cameras. No concerns regarding safety when you're speeding through intersections? Just more examples of people looking to blame someone or something else for their actions. It couldn't possibly be their fault.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[mcfogell]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 9th 2010 7:00PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Man Avenges Speeding Ticket by Buying Expired Police Department URL]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2010/06/09/man-avenges-speeding-ticket-by-buying-expired-police-department/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2010/06/09/man-avenges-speeding-ticket-by-buying-expired-police-department/</guid><description><![CDATA[The system of cameras has a good purpose and idealism, but ultimately its flawed. <br><br>Because the honest taxing paying, law abiding, and safe drivers are targeted. The highway cameras (red light cameras are a better example) target people who aren't purposefully breaking the law. While people who know the loop holes, avoid the cameras intentionally. And its easy to do, anyone can research it.<br><br>But most importantly, I'd like to know exactly how fast he was driving and what the lane/limit of the highway was. I don't know they drive over there, but here in NorCal I drive 80mph on the left lane.<br><br>So props to you, Brian McCrary!!!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Daniel]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 9th 2010 8:22PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Man Avenges Speeding Ticket by Buying Expired Police Department URL]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2010/06/09/man-avenges-speeding-ticket-by-buying-expired-police-department/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2010/06/09/man-avenges-speeding-ticket-by-buying-expired-police-department/</guid><description><![CDATA[What a bloody arsehole. the website like Adam stated most likely provided important information like where the hell the actual building is located so you can drive to it and report stuff (if one doesn't feel like making a phone call). He is being childish for taking revenge for a speeding ticket (I have a learner's permit). My absolute favorite thing (I work for an Auxiliary Police force doing foot patrols) is people who hate us and insult us trying to impress their friends only because we are in uniform until they need our help. Let me tell you if you throw insults at me everytime you see me I am not going to be very thrilled to help you when you do need it. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[bob]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 9th 2010 8:39PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Man Avenges Speeding Ticket by Buying Expired Police Department URL]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2010/06/09/man-avenges-speeding-ticket-by-buying-expired-police-department/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2010/06/09/man-avenges-speeding-ticket-by-buying-expired-police-department/</guid><description><![CDATA[Just wondering-<br><br>i had domains at Godaddy and they mail the ever loving crap out of you.  US mail, email etc etc.   The guy paid his ticket but how many notices (I know that it had to be a minimum of 5) did they get that the domain was going to expire.  The poor po po screwed up.  He now owns the domain.  Just like he did wrong had had to pay a fine, they did wrong and were not accountable for their actions.  They at least do not seem to be demanding he release the domain according to this story.  I think he bested them.  <br><br>but I also bet he pissed them off.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[nathan]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 9th 2010 8:38PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Man Avenges Speeding Ticket by Buying Expired Police Department URL]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2010/06/09/man-avenges-speeding-ticket-by-buying-expired-police-department/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2010/06/09/man-avenges-speeding-ticket-by-buying-expired-police-department/</guid><description><![CDATA[You think Brian wants to trade me for this? ;) <br><br><a href="http://www.brianmccrary.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.brianmccrary.com</a>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[awesomerobot]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 9th 2010 9:05PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Man Avenges Speeding Ticket by Buying Expired Police Department URL]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2010/06/09/man-avenges-speeding-ticket-by-buying-expired-police-department/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2010/06/09/man-avenges-speeding-ticket-by-buying-expired-police-department/</guid><description><![CDATA[Wow, that was terrible.
