GERMAN POLICE ARE trying to identify a speeding driver from pictures of a bare bottom.
Judging by his acrobatic contortion he must have been some sort of performer

A picture of the speeding car was caught by a speed camera in Bonn as the car passed through a 30mph zone at twice the limit.

As the flash from the camera went off flashing of a different sort was happening in the car. When the film was examined officials found a perfect shot of the offender's bare bottom instead of his face.

Werner Geisbuesch, head of the penalties department of the traffic police: 'I was amazed when I saw what should have been his face, but judging by his acrobatic contortion he must have been some sort of performer.' Police are unsure whether the naked bottom belonged to the driver or the passenger because a reflection on the windscreen obscured the driver's seat.

If officers catch the flasher he faces up to a month in jail, a £70 fine and three points on his licence.

is the month in jail because of the speed or his bare backside ?

A bloke in Finland got 'extra' ticket because he had shown middle finger to the camera. I think he was drunk too.

Heh, another weird thing. It's quite common (well not that common, but I've seen some news) that speedcameras get shot at or some people knock them over with tractor. This happens in countryside.

In the UK, we put a used tyre over the camera, soak it with petrol, and then set fire to it.

Not that I condone such behaviour, of course.
