Why couldn't I have been as smart as these kids in High School?

So...   Did anybody get caught?  Or is this paper reporting about what some high school kids are bragging about having done?

Because, in my experience there is not a very strong correlation between high school claims and reality.

Or is this story based entirely on some guy who got a speeding ticket he doesn't think he earned?  Or the parent of a ticketed kid who claims he wasn't speeding?

Either way, I find this story amazingly lean on substantiated facts.

That was my first thought, but I thought it was awesome nonetheless.

'awesome' 'smart' and 'brilliant' were adjectives that failed to come to mind.

I hope it works so that all cities will be kept from
using the cameras. I've heard that they'll be put up
around my house to watch red lights.

In australia someone stole the plate off of the speed cam trailer, put it on their car and drove past many, many times, racking up fines for the police dept.

Don't apologize. Bad journalism needs to be called out.
