Idiots

Two utter idiots were captured on a speed camera as they took turns to set it off whilst riding on a motorbike.

Sky.

Two teenagers have been banned from driving after they repeatedly rode past a speed camera on a stolen motorbike.

Sam Giess and Lewis Farmer, both 18, were caught on camera five times as they took turns to trigger the speed trap in Nuneaton, Warwickshire.

Officers in the town recognised them from the images.

The pair were disqualified from driving for a year after appearing at Nuneaton magistrates' court charged with a total of 22 offences.

Farmer, who pleaded guilty to speeding and driving with no licence and insurance, was also fined £200.

Giess, who pleaded guilty to a total of 14 charges, was ordered to pay £100 in compensation and given a 120-hour community order.

Speaking after the case, Detective Sergeant Owen Fell said: "We are delighted with these convictions.

"Giess and Farmer behaved in a reckless manner and it is fortunate that neither they nor any innocent road users or passers-by were injured."

Didn't they think to wear a mask?

I despair for the English these days if this is the best we can do for cocking a snook at authority. Don't they know the rules?
Rule 1 = Don't get caught,
Rule 2 = If in any doubt, refer to rule 1.

As for the fines and the community order, really I wouldn't have bothered, it's not like they'll take much notice of them and it certainly wont make them any more wary of the authorities. Soft sentencing and lack of respect over the last 40 years have made sure of that. Hard labour if caught might help, but that's not going to happen either as they have human rights, though you'd think anyone breaching the so called social contract would have abrogated them to an absolute minimum of not being shot on sight.
Things will have to change before they get better and no I'm not advocating birching offenders or for that matter flogging or hanging them, at least not for a first offence. But unless the thugs and idiots running riot in our housing estates learn to fear getting caught and it starts to affect their behaviour, then things wont get better, they'll just carry on the same as before, there's no need to understand them either, they just need punished.
