Default Aussie answer to dealing with mobile speed traps

I don't know how true this is (plus it was ripped from those boxa.net types ) but it's a great story.

>"Four youths from Canberra, Australia pulled off a trick of breathtaking
>bravado in order to gain revenge on a mobile speed camera van operating in
>the area.
>Three of the group approached the van and distracted the operator's
>attention by asking a series of questions about how the equipment worked
>and
>how many cars the operator could catch in a day. Meanwhile, the fourth
>musketeer sneaked to the front of the van and unscrewed its
>numberplate.
>After bidding the van operator goodbye, the friends returned home, fixed
>the
>number plate to their car and drove through the camera's radar at high
>speed - 17 times. As a result, the automated billing system issued 17
>speeding tickets to itself."
