The Muppets vs. Red Light Cameras

Muppet at the WheelWhile this story lies a bit outside of the Show-Me Institute’s jurisdiction, and while I personally do not condone such blatant, yet hilarious, civil disobedience, I could not help but laugh when fellow SMI worker Josh Smith showed me this article.

I did know that red light camera aggravation was not exclusive to Americans, but now I know it’s not even exclusive to humans. Unlike in Missouri, German red light cameras require your face in the picture in order to press charges. Their cameras are specifically designed to block out the passenger’s face to keep them anonymous. Well, this could be taken advantage of by driving a British car.

This picture is not faked, altered, Photoshopped, or edited in any way. It’s Animal, in all his glory, sticking it to the man.

Any Muppet lovers or red light haters can find more info about the subject here.
