This from the empire that once covered nearly 25% of the Earth's surface? They're that "delicate" today they can't tolerate a motorist giving the bird to a traffic camera? Hell, in the US I'm sure that's the least of what our own traffic cams see directed their way.

And our cops? People go out of their way to personally flip them off, and the police usually just shrug their shoulders and move along. And our men and women in blue are armed to the teeth, unlike their British counterparts. Get your big boy pants on, UK. ;-)

WATCH: Man Gets 8 Months In Prison After Flipping-Off Traffic Camera In U.K.

(Note: I'm sure there's some backstory or nuance to the entire story and that the coppers were entirely justified in sending this fellow to stir for several months, right? ;-)

Catchy headline... but he went to jail for using a laser jammer in his car, not flipping off the camera.

That's what he was sentenced for. It's right there in the article.

They send you to prison for those things? Excuse me for a minute. I've got to run out to my car and uh, uh... get a few things out of the trunk. ;-)

I love the way they cite stuff in English law. "Perverting the course of justice." Our own Americanized version of that is "perversion of justice," but we typically apply that to things the government's side of the justice system does. Shows you what we think of government, huh? Hahahahahahahahaha!

You think I didn't know how fast the OP article would be shot down? ;-)

It was worth it just to learn that phrase "Perverting the course of justice." LOL!

Still, 8 months for using a laser jammer seems incredibly harsh.

At ease, Combat. It was a fun thread. You didn't see in the thread where I owned to it? Sense of humor, bruv. :-)
