Who Are You Looking At?

This story is nothing too new. We've had one of these spy cars on The Wirral since last Summer. People have been complaining about it on many counts including it being used to look into bedroom windows and parking illegally to take its photos. The whole legality of the fines were brought into question recently when a local couple had their fine overturned because there were no warning signs stating that their car could be photographed. What shocks me most though, is the cost of the car - I mean just look at it...
£70000 for that!? Allowing £10000 for the Smart (I got that figure from my Top Gear magazine - the Smart website was useless for that info) that leaves £60000 for a length of drainpipe and a Kodak Instamatic - somebody somewhere - probably us Wirral Council Taxpayers - is being ripped off.
