Law enforcement agencies have really been making the transition to technology, essentially letting robots do all their work. A favorite trend seems to be putting cameras at intersections to catch red-light runners and on the highway to curb speeding.
Some bloke felt it was necessary to express his opinion on the subject by mooning one of said speeding cameras. At first, as a red-blooded American this looks really dangerous, then you realize this is in England, so this guy is actually mooning the camera from the passenger seat and not the driver’s side.
Of course, the car wasn’t speeding, but the cameras still caught him in the act. The man is currently being tracked down for “public order offences” and not wearing a seat belt.
However, I’m not sure if this was intentional - I mean if I was driving around in a BMW X5, I don’t really see a need for wearing pants or for sitting down for that matter. But that’s just how I roll.

Where’s the stick shift in British cars?
I definitely would have been more impressed if he had pulled this off while driving but he still gets street cred in my book.
I think next time he should add “the bird” just for good measure.
