Roger Moore is no Saint

No, not THAT Roger Moore!

THIS Roger Moore:
I think he may be a bit camera-shy.

Flicking through the Plymouth Evening Herald (as I often don't) this story amused me. It tells of a man who tried to get out of a speeding ticket in a courtesy car by saying that the offence happened after he had returned it to the garage. To try to prove this, he faked the date stamp on his home CCTV system to show his own car at home at the time of the offence.

It seems a lot of trouble to go to in order to avoid a £60 fine, but then again, the investigation seems like a lot of effort to go to over a £60 fine.

The investigator pointed out that the shadows were wrong for the time of year that the speeding occurred so Roger was found guilty, ordered to pay £2000 costs and given a suspended 16 week jail sentence.

A daft crime without a shadow of doubt.
