South Australian Super Genius Tries To Burn Down Speed Camera By Setting His Undies Alight
Somebody really hates speed cameras, and crotch support.
Absolutely nobody enjoys getting caught and fined by a speed camera. It is a very not fun thing to happen, but also, speeding kills people so we should probably just put up with them right? The answer to that from one particular South Australian kook is “no, we should set them all on fire”.
It’s a bold strategy, to say the least, and one that hasn’t particularly paid off for the gent, after he was arrested in Adelaide overnight for allegedly attempting to do that very thing. Oh and his choice of fuel for this deranged anti-speed-camera crusade? Why his own underwear, of course.
Police were alerted to a small fire at the base of the speed camera in the inner-city suburb of Wayville around midnight last night, also discovering the camera apparatus itself had been slightly smashed.
Cops put out the embarrassing little pissy fire only to have to return around 3.45am to attend to a second fire, this time with added Reg Grundies.
Speaking to ABC Adelaide a police officer commented: “We have what we understand are burnt-up jocks, yes jocks, underwear, at the bottom and the fire has licked up the pillar on all four sides.”
“Crime scene investigators are on their way because they obviously want to have a look at the forensics,” they continued. Duh, they want to have a look at it, it’s fucking hilarious.
A 40-year-old man from outer-Adelaide suburb Reynella has been arrested and charged with two counts of arson and is set to front court today. Although we don’t know much about his motivations for the alleged crime, we can at least infer he hates both speed cameras and crotch support.
