Default "Not only is it disrespectful, this behaviour is distasteful and offensive"

Can you guess what the title is referring to before clicking on the news link?

brilliant lol.
Something like this pops up every once in a while. It's not the first moon at a camera and there was that guy that drove round in his right hand drive car in germany or somewhere with a muppet doll thing in the left seat and the cameras never got the drivers face.

There was one a couple of years back where some old boy was done for flicking the Vs (not speeding at the time) at one. They claimed he was DWDC as he had one hand off the wheel unecessarily. Naturally, they didn't bust any of the other people who drove by with hand off the wheel doing things like fiddling with the radio, that'd impact their machine control far more far more than this. It's driven more by a childish reaction to not liking the public voicing their disapproval of speed cameras (which is what this sort of behaviour is) than any concern for the safety of the occupants of the vehicle or those around them. Well done chaps, great way to get people to lose faith in the force.

As an aside, I'll give them the thumbs down when stopped at lights, handbrake on, etc. wouldn't do it whilst moving for fear of reprisals.

Erm...... if the driver wasn't speeding then why did the camera take a picture of it?
