Did you hear about the speed camera scam..Kids were photographing their teachers license plates, printing and putting the print over a license plate, then running red lights guarded by traffic cams..The teacher gets a ticket in the mail..
What a great idea!!!

Those conniving little ef’ers, that’s some real low-down dirty school kid tactics right there. Too bad my buddies and me didn’t have today’s technology at hand when we were in school!
