Man wearing monkey mask gets out of paying 37 speeding tickets
71 replies, posted
Basically some guy figured out how to cheat the speeding camera tickets by wearing a monkey mask, which makes it impossible to identify him as the driver.
It's a brilliant idea, I could not stop laughing at the concept.

Dave Vontesmar hates photo enforcement.
Vontesmar drives nearly 30 miles a day from his home in north Phoenix to his job at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport and passes through the photo-enforcement gantlet on Interstate 17, Arizona 51 and Interstate 10.
But when state Department of Public Safety officers served 37 unpaid photo-enforcement tickets to Vontesmar recently, he wasn't fazed.
The photos all show the driver wearing a monkey mask.
"Not one of them there is a picture where you can identify the driver," Vontesmar said. "The ball's in their court. I sent back all these ones I got with a copy of my driver's license and said, 'It's not me. I'm not paying them.' "
The latest data from the DPS shows more motorists are disregarding the violation notices upon arrival in the mail.
When the system was just getting set up in October, 34 percent of drivers paid their tickets. By June, that statistic had dropped to 24 percent.

Kinda bullshit if he didn't report his vehicle stolen.
Ahahaha.
Fuck speed cameras.

He should have had a TF2 spy mask with a cop's face... how shameful he didn't do that.

I doubt you car would even get that fast. You would most likely crash before that anyway.

Not everyone plays TF2 you tool.
A lot of people do shit like this.
If you have a twin they can never fine you.
The cops don't have resources to go after people who don't pay the fine, so why would people give a shit about the fines?

Mythbusters proved that you can't speed by those cameras. They still get your plates.
llooolol
strange because generally they issue the ticket to the owner of the vehicle not the driver
aka if your brother is driving your car and gets in an accident, you're liable, not him

Ha you doubt? There is no need to doubt, of course his car can't go that fast, what a ludicrous statement.

Buy you can! WITH A ROCKETCAR! :science:
This is golden. I want to do this now. I bet that guy isn't even a scumbag either, he's probably just some average guy with a funny idea to cheat out the authorities. Fucking awesome.

yeah... if you consider a subaru a 'rocketcar' then you're correct.

Yea, can't law officials see what is the only logical explanation and take action?
You can flash your hand up in front of your face as well.
It's really bullshit anyways (I live in AZ) they already said speed cameras were unconstitutional, but it doesn't go into effect until like next year so they are frantically putting them up everywhere to rake in cash before it's too late.
Hahaha, that's a great idea. :v:
That's bananas.
I would be scared as fuck if that dude drove up to me, stopped, and just stared with the monkey mask on.
[sp]Your avatar always speaks the truth[/sp].
I would suspected he was some kind of bank robber.
Lawl. Loopholes in the law ftw.
facepalm

You ticket the driver, not the vehicle. It doesn't matter who the vehicle belongs to. It ONLY matters who is driving it.
This is why red light cameras and speed cameras are bullshit to begin with.
Even insurance companies hate them. Red light cameras in particular because they CAUSE accidents at an alarming rate. This is made worse by the fact that cities will often shorten the length of yellow lights at intersections with red light cameras in order to increase income from tickets.

You can still challenge them in court. If you tell the judge that continuing through the intersection was a safer option than slamming on the brakes, they'll probably revoke the ticket.
