Re: Don't Speed in France!

DrFumblefinger ·
The punishment does not fit the crime. Yes they were speeding. A speeding ticket is reasonable. The rest seems overkill to me. But we don't know how the interaction was. They might have given the cop some lip and....well, he was proving a point about who's really in charge.

So there goes another dream job...riding around all...
