Criminal Charges Against Speed Trap Tweeter
martinlp writes "A Twitter account named Pigspotter is making big news in South Africa. The traffic authorities in Johannesburg are taking legal action against Pigspotter, an individual who is tweeting up-to-the-minute information about speed traps in and around the city. He has recently stopped, stating that his Blackberry is going in for repairs, but it may be out of fear of getting prosecuted. The police claim he must be getting inside information and suspect that disgruntled traffic officers may be involved. There is also speculation that it is more than one individual that is tweeting."
I was going to show you an honest cop, but I've nothing to gain from it, since he already happens to be flying and doing cartwheels next to a unicorn.
But the risk is you might get fined for indecent exposure....
I have determined that my sig is indeterminate.
The reason they drop the speed limits is because there is an increased risk of accident/injury in that particular area. If you really have a problem with it, shoot me the street name so I can check out the Google Maps images of the area. I guarantee the speed limit variation is perfectly justified. Also, there is no such thing as quotas for speeding tickets.
Racist.
Calling someone a "hater" only means you can not rationally rebut their argument.
