Speed Cameras

The utility of an object is in what you make of it. A rock, by itself, lying on the ground, has no great utility, but fasten it to a stick, and you're on your way to ruling the world. Here is a story that renews my faith in the ingenuity of today's youth, and makes me think that some of them will become productive tool-making members of society.

Originating from Wootton High School, the parent said, students duplicate the license plates by printing plate numbers on glossy photo paper, using fonts from certain websites that "mimic" those on Maryland license plates. They tape the duplicate plate over the existing plate on the back of their car and purposefully speed through a speed camera, the parent said. The victim then receives a citation in the mail days later.

Students are even obtaining vehicles from their friends that are similar or identical to the make and model of the car owned by the targeted victim, according to the parent.

Now ask yourself: What kind of car does your most un-favorite legislator drive. You know, the one who is always putting up the nanny-state legislation to ban smoking in bars, shooting squirrels off your back porch, or putting those stupid cameras up in the first place.

If you think writing the legislator a letter gets little enough attention, think what 15 or 20 speeding tickets will do. HINT: Do not use the legislators vanity plate that identifies the driver as exempt from tickets. Use the plate from their personal car.
