Nice, I love this country
Seriously though it seems like they are too scared to say something when they notice the binoculars aren't working, and too focused on that fact to actually check the lens cap...
"wow these binoculars aren't working, I'd better play it cool since people are watching"
press: "WTF??"

Sleepy man ignores stabbing
Tuesday, May 1, 2007
Knife

A man is recovering in hospital after he was stabbed nine times – but didn't notice, because he slept through the whole thing.

The 23-year-old, from Winona, Minnesota, was stabbed repeatedly early on Saturday morning, but was unable to identify his assailants to police because he was snoozing at the time.

The Winona Daily News reports that the man, who wasn't identified, only realised that he'd been stabbed nine times when his girlfriend noticed that he was covered in blood and pointed this out.

Reports do not indicate whether the girlfriend was also sleeping during the attack.

Police are continuing to investigate the incident, and the man remains in hospital. Probably asleep.

:lol:

A motorcyclist who rode past speed cameras at speeds of up to 105mph because he believed that he would not be caught has been convicted of careless driving.

Philip Coffey, 45, a bus driver from Dunstable, Bedfordshire, would make two-fingered gestures at the cameras, believing that his helmet and lack of a numberplate would prevent detection. He was captured after detectives realised that there were only three motor-bikes like his, a BMW 1150, in the county. One camera was in a 40mph zone but Coffey’s recorded speeds varied between 70mph and 105mph.

Coffey told Luton Crown Court: “A lot of the time I was just accelerating for the cameras. I don’t like the existence of them in this country.”

He was found guilty of nine charges of careless driving and nine of speeding between February and June last year in Dunstable and Leighton Buzzard. The jury found him not guilty of dangerous driving. He was banned for a year, fined £900 and ordered to pay £600 costs.

Only 3 of those BMW bikes in the country?? Looks quite common I never woulda guessed that.
 
That happened in the area I live too. The guy had a purple CBR 750cc and lived in the neighborhood, the local cops didn't have much trouble finding the dumb ass.
