The Yorkshire Police in the U.K proudly tweeted the sentence of a man who committed the terrible, unspeakable, life-altering crime of…using a laser jammer and flipping off a traffic camera.
Top tip: If you want to stay out of trouble, don’t do what this driver did and swear at our mobile safety cameras while driving past in a car fitted with a laser jammer. Today he’s beginning 8 months in jail for perverting the course of justice. https://t.co/Y5jpeOlt96 pic.twitter.com/rKQRVgNkB1

Notice that they seem more concerned with the FLIPPING OFF part. That’s what gets me.
Company director, Timothy Hill, jammed speed cameras with a laser in order to escape fines whilst sticking his finger up at them, a court has heard.
The 67-year-old fitted a laser jammer to his white Range Rover which meant that his speed came up blank.
Hill drove past mobile speed camera vans on the A19 near Easingwold, Thirsk and Crathorne three times in December and each time he was photographed gesturing to the camera with his middle finger.
That’s actually hilarious.
And here’s the video of him in action… pic.twitter.com/8SuvQGbAqb

This video reflects 75% of drivers in America. “Mobile safety cameras” weren’t around in the 1700s, but if they were, we would’ve flipped them off, gotten arrested and added that to the reasons we rebelled.

We now see George Orwell’s nightmare taking shape in the UK…
Can anyone imagine a government so drunk with power that this act of free speech becomes a crime worthy of long-term incarceration? https://t.co/Zp77Lj6vsH— Tony Shaffer (@T_S_P_O_O_K_Y) April 24, 2018
Strange world we live in.

In England, you can go to jail for 8 months for flipping off a traffic camera.
Let that sink in: Police in England spend more time worrying about someone flipping a traffic camera off than the threat of Islamism. https://t.co/pykn5uF0Ri

BTW– they also banned him from driving for a year.
Hill appeared at Teesside Crown Court where he was jailed for eight months and banned from driving for a year for perverting the course of justice.
Goooooood grief.
