    Curious that they mention him uploading videos to Facebook as part of the harassment while ignoring the content of the videos, good or bad. The article paints him out to be batshit without giving any reason for his behavior. Obligatory cars real bad.

      Isn’t facebook and its data-harvesting and facial recognition now at the point where uploading anyone’s likeness without consent is harassment?

      “Public sentiment” exacerbates many of the problems associated with cars.

        That is absolutely true, but speed cameras aren’t really solving any of them.

        Aside from how to get money from people who are accused of driving too fast.

          People who hate cars love them for some reason… I don’t see why: they don’t provide an alternative to driving…

    They should respond by hiring 3 extra speed cam teams for a couple years, and install 2 permanent new measuring locations. Full trajectory average speed cams really slow everyone down to the legal maximum speed 'round these parts, so I would go for those.

      Yes! back when i used to drive i loved those “average speed limit” sections on motorways. It almost made driving a tolerable experience.

    The force said “on numerous occasions” he went beyond simply approaching the vehicles, and attempted “to catch operatives unaware by hiding nearby”.

    So really cartoon-like.
