Man busted by traffic camera gets unique revenge on police department

[Vinsanity]

"It goes without saying, but we're gonna go ahead and say it anyway: Nobody likes getting a speeding ticket. And that's especially true when said ticket isn't issued by a human officer, but from a machine set up to catch unwary motorists off guard. If only there was some way to get back that lost sense of justice...

One man from Bluff City, Tennessee came up with a rather inventive way of sticking it back to The Man. It seems that the officer in charge of the Bluff City Police Department's website had gone on sick leave, and nobody noticed when the time came to renew the PD's URL. Whoops.

Computer network designer Brian McCrary, who received a $90 ticket from a speed camera earlier in the year, saw a unique opportunity and seized it, picking up the domain rights from Go Daddy. Want to know what the Bluff City Police Department's old website looks like now? Of course you do: http://www.bluffcitypd.com/"

Wasn't there that one incident a while back in Oz where some kids took the license plate off a speed camera van, and sped by it dozens of times, causing the system to issue a bunch of tickets to itself? If there's any truth to that, that's a pretty epic win as well
