Constable Scott Warburton (Lancashire, England) was driving his police car at a high rate of speed, even though he was not on an emergency call.
Then he spotted a speed camera, and knew he'd get caught speeding if he didn't do something.
"He braked sharply, lost control and hit two signs," said prosecutor Malcolm Isherwood.
Warburton had reached "a peak speed of 91 miles per hour approximately 10 seconds before the accident."
He was charged with driving "without due care and attention" and faced a possible driving ban, but instead
was fined 200 pounds (US$376) plus court costs.

Does 200 pounds even cover the cost of replacing the two signs?

Political Correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical, liberal minority and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end."
