fine move execution, but a dumb finish...evidence intact ===== Tuesday February 27 11:03 AM ET Driver Jailed for Dumping Speed Camera in Sea OSLO (Reuters) - A Norwegian motorist was fined and sentenced to jail after dumping a speed camera in the sea in a panic after it photographed him while driving too fast. ``It's the most stupid thing I have ever done,'' the 19-year-old man told the Norwegian daily Verdens Gang on Tuesday. It said a court in Sunnmoere, west Norway, fined the man $17,800 and sentenced him to 18 days in prison. He had dismantled the 10-foot-high camera, used to take pictures of the number plates of speeding cars, and threw it into the sea three days after he was snapped for exceeding the speed limit. He had been driving his parents' car and feared getting caught. But a witness saw the car as the man was dumping the speed camera and reported the crime. The police found the camera with the film intact, and the man was also fined $450 for going 68 per hour in an 50 mph zone.
