Hey the idea for defeating the system was perfectly valid...he just screwed himself over :lol:
A 44-year-old Arizona man allegedly tried to fool the photo radars that record a vehicle's speed. It worked for a while — until the police caught up with him.
Timothy Welsh allegedly used a permanent marker to change both the 3 and the 9 on his license plate to an 8, so when his vehicle got nabbed for speeding, the ticket was sent to someone else, MyFOXPhoenix.com reported.
At first, Scottsdale Sgt. Jim Butera thought it was a mistake when a Phoenix man called him complaining he had gotten two speeding tickets mailed to him, but he wasn't the one speeding.
When Butera looked at the photo and saw the man making an obscene gesture at the camera he thought, "[we] need to do some more investigating."
"He didn't think it was that big of a deal," Butera told the station. "But he admitted to everything that we accused him of."
Welsh allegedly was going 14 mph over the speed limit and would have had to pay a $175 fine, but now, he's facing a $1,500 fine and up to a year in jail.
Where the dumb ass screwed up was to flick off the camera!
You already foiled the camera , but then had to draw attention to it! Dumb ass!
Thats what I said: If he didn't flick off the Camera he may have gotten away with it (certainly for a longer time). http://www.radardetector.net/forums/...oto-radar.html
Well this guy had a good idea but was bit over confident which is what got him busted
