traffic camera

Most people have been caught on a traffic camera for speeding or running a light. The ticket comes in the mail, you learn the lesson and you move on. The next time you are out you know the camera is there and it keeps you in line ideally.

Well check out the bad luck this guy ran into when he thought he was going to get busted and took things into his own hands.

From the Guardian Sun

A furious motorist who took a circular saw to a traffic camera was left even angrier when a court heard it had not caught him.

Richard Atkinson, 31, drove to a DIY store, bought the power tool and hacked off the camera after convincing himself he had been flashed for jumping a red light at a junction in January.

But yesterday Nottingham Crown Court heard he had not been snapped.

Atkinson, of Langley Mill, Derbys, admitted intending to pervert the course of justice and was jailed for eight weeks.
