A Picture Is Worth a Thousand Hours of Community Service

I don't know if this really happened (it was passed to me in an e-mail of dumb things people have gotten caught doing--and who can trust the veracity of e-mail forwards?), but it surely is funny. Thanks, Erin, for sharing this!

A motorist was unknowingly caught in an automated speed trap that measured his speed using radar and photographed his car. He later received in the mail a ticket for $40 and a photo of his car. Instead of payment, he sent the police department a photograph of $40. Several days later, he received a letter from that police department that contained another picture, this time of handcuffs. He immediately mailed in his $40.
