Hey Everyone, Check this guy out!
Some smartass in Germany has allegedly been foiling traffic cams by planting a human-sized Muppet in what's supposed to be the driver's seat, then speeding through camera-monitored areas. In order for a violation to stick in the German city of Bayreuth, traffic cams apparently have to capture the driver's face as well as the car's plate number. But since the Audi is a UK-registered right-hand-drive car, and the German traffic cams are set up to look for the driver on the left, Animal's crazed and hairy visage mocks the police while enabling the driver to dodge the ticket. German cops are humorlessly chagrinned by the whole situation. A "German police source" sniffs, "The driver has been caught on camera on several occasions and the puppet is on the passenger seat every time. We suspect he positions the toy deliberately before accelerating past the camera." The story first surfaced in the UK's Daily Star and should probably be taken with a whole shakerful of salt, but if it is true, here's to hoping that Animal turns himself in before the long arm of the law catches up.
Way to beat the system! ;D ;D ;D LOL
