The height of the camera confirms this. I usually stick my tounge out when passing one as I find it just too difficult to moon and drive at the same time If they decided to track me down and prosecute me I'd go to court willingly just to show them up for the petty miserable motherless pillocks they are      My doctor said one drink per day, I can live with that !    Report

I don't recall there being an anti-mooning law in England.  Did Tony and Cheri slip one in whilst I was away?  Naturally, mooning at a police camera would be an aggravated offence.

One of my tech college mates was I believe the first ever person to be prosecuted for "mooning", it was not long after the release of American graffiti, I reckon 1976. He made front page news in the then sleepy new town, now even the murders are not guaranteed to make the cover! He was prosecuted for indecency, having and I quote "exhibited his bare backside out of a car window", so sorry but the statute is already there. One of my customers was Transport for London (TFL) specifically the reincarnated traffic control systems unit, they were responsible at the time for the first traffic light/box junction cameras, then the bus land and congestion charging cameras.  There  was a wall of fame exhibit of still and seqential video shots showing some amusing and also horrific accidents involving people juumping lights together with motorcyclists with blanked out number plates giving the finger to the cameras and one memorable (because she must have been a model or porn star) female pillion passenger mooning in both the forward and reverse seating (actually standing) position on the same evening. The other hairy ar5ed biker moon shots were instantly relegated in favor of that one. Data protection act?    Report
