Man Blocks Police Speed Camera With Car Boot, Heads To Pub

A man has come up with an ingenius way of stopping a police speed camera from catching drivers in the act - parking his car behind it, and blocking it with his open boot.

Satisfied that his work was now done, the man headed off to a nearby pub to toast his efforts.

A nearby resident promptly posted the image on Imgur with the caption: “Someone just parked in front of a speed camera, lifted his boot so nobody could get caught speeding. Then went to the pub across the road.”

While its location is up for the debate, consensus seems to be that the image was snapped in Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire, across the road from the Crabtree pub.

“This adds new meaning to the phrase ‘community service’, said 2013renny, while Mnwall28 said, "Good on ya mate”.

Not everyone was loving the photographer’s work, however.

Bholabakra said: “What a great guy! Nobody deserves to be forced to limit their speeds in a residential area where pedestrians & children may be around.”

For some American commentors, the very English lingo was the main talking point however, with ABowlOfChips asking, “lifted his boot? The eff?”
