Speed camera foe buys Tenn. city's police website

BLUFF CITY, Tenn. (AP) - After a Tennessee police department let its website expire, the site was snatched up by a new owner _ a man who uses it to gripe about traffic cameras that issue speeding tickets.

Computer network designer Brian McCrary says he discovered the Bluff City Police Department site was up for grabs, so he paid domain provider Go Daddy for the rights to http://www.bluffcitypd.com.

McCrary, who says he received a $90 speeding citation earlier this year, took over the site May 22.

His site now shows a smiling cartoon police badge clutching green currency. It also posts gripes from others who've been cited.

Police Chief David Nelson said the officer who managed the site had been on medical leave and the expiration slipped up on the department.

i lived in the tricities area for about 6 years when i worked for the dept of justice. i can trust me when i say that the cops in that area were a bunch of chowderheads.

besides that, i personally think using video to bust people for speeding, traffic violations, etc, is a real cop out (no pun intended). but, that's just my humble opinion.

kudos to the new site owner. hehe
