I have to admit that this is pretty clever...

Original story is here.

Local teens claim pranks on county's Speed Cams

As a prank, students from local high schools have been taking advantage of the county's Speed Camera Program in order to exact revenge on people who they believe have wronged them in the past, including other students and even teachers.

Students from Richard Montgomery High School dubbed the prank the Speed Camera "Pimping" game, according to a parent of a student enrolled at one of the high schools.

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.

"This game is very disturbing," the parent said. "Especially since unsuspecting parents will also be victimized through receipt of unwarranted photo speed tickets.

The parent said that "our civil rights are exploited," and the entire premise behind the Speed Camera Program is called into question as a result of the growing this fad among students.

The Speed Camera Program was implemented in March of this year and used for the purpose of reducing traffic and pedestrian collisions in the county. Cameras are located in residential areas and school zones where the posted speed limit is 35 miles per hour or lower. A $40 citation is mailed to the owner of the car for violating the speed limit in these areas.

I agree. That seems rather tedious to do.
*cough* I mean you could easily get your revenge on someone by shitting on their front lawn or driveway early in the morning or really late at night so when the other person wakes up and leaves the house starting the day, a giant turd or shit-puddle (if you got the runs or something) waiting for them. Shitting is a lot easier and less tedious.

This is really clever... A unique and awesome way of revenge. Even if it's really wrong.

I wonder if they ever feel guilty after doing that to those people.

.....NAH.

You've got to be a REAL vindictive bastard to pull this off. I couldn't keep a grudge that long lol.

Well it's a good thing I never drove myself to school XD

I sincerely hate those camera lights.
I don't think these are the lights their talking about, but the cameras here, if you run a light, you get a ticket.

I personally believe if a cop didn't see you run the light, you shouldn't be penalized, but I completely understand why they have them >.<
