Why does the WPC look like she's wearing a eye patch?

Is she pretending to be a pirate? Arrrrrrrrrr!

So..... no film in camera but it flashes.
No cost for film then!
camera is a deterant.
People "in the know" are aware there's no film... until someone forgets to tell them camera has been filmed up!!
I am not saying that this scenario is what happened in this case, just posting a possible scenario.(hope that covers me legally!)

Ah, the 'Speedwatch' Vililantes! We have them around here and my wife and I have had a couple of letters. They actually sent a PCSO round to educate me after I was 'reported' by the vigilantes for doing 36 and my wife was twice 'reported', but in my car, for 37 and 38 respectively. The PCSO seemed quite 'miffed' when I simply told him I was not interested in 'Vigilantism' and was not prepared to waste time discussing it. He gave me a pre-printed note from a Superintendant which said that one-third of all accidents are caused by speed (not speeding or excessive speed, just 'speed'). I pointed out that speed was the movement of a vehicle and represented its distance divided by its time over that distance, so as all accidents involved moving vehicles, 100% of accidents were caused by speed. He gave up and went.

It would have been an interesting dialogue when they got back to the station,

trying to remember word for word,

probably told them you weren't in

We have a couple in a village near us, who stand outside their property, one is wheelchair bound (and probably jealous of those still capable of driving), the other is just old. I was told that someone had mounted the pavement and raced towards them.
(I do not condone the actions i have mentioned)

Is it just me, or does that photo look like it's been photoshopped? The policewoman looks like she has a black eye, and the guy in the middle looks like he's been cut'n'pasted into the photo?
