This is hilarious! Guess what bored teenagers in Maryland are doing?
They’re using templates found on the Internet to create fake license plates, which they then print up on glossy paper with a color inkjet printer. The fake plate is then taped over the pranksters’ genuine plate. They then run a red light or speed in an area known to have traffic cameras, just to get their friends or teachers in trouble with the law!
It seems the cameras Maryland uses for speeding and red light enforcement aren’t smart enough to figure out that the plate is either a copy, or that the fake plate is on the wrong make and model car. So angry teens can easily get back at the bully that threw them into the lockers, or the teacher that assigned too much homework one weekend.
OK, I guess it wouldn’t be that funny if it were you that got punk’d in this way… but as a non-involved observer, I still find it quite amusing.
