A motorist was unknowingly caught in an automated speed zone. It not only measured his speed using radar it also photographed his car. He later received a ticket in the mail for $40 and a photo of his car. Instead of payment, he sent the police department a photograph of $40. 

Several days later, he received another letter from the police department that contained a picture of handcuffs. He paid the $40.
