This allegedly true story, supposedly leaked by the Australian Department of Transport, concerns four Australian young men and a mobile speed camera police van.
Three of the four lads engaged the speed camera operators in conversation about the camera equipment, and the number of cars caught etc, while the fourth unscrewed the van's front registration plate.
