The interesting flaw in this prank is that the kids are forging false vehicle plates. If they get stopped or caught with these plates, I'm fairly certain it is a felony offense. Likewise, should they beinvolved in an accident while these "plates" are on their cars it would be interesting to see how their insurance carriers would handle the matter.
Speed Cameras are a disgusting means of generating revenue and an infringement on our protection under the principle of innocent until proven guilty, but this type of prank won't change that. It just has some disturbing implications for anyone who might be the target of such "pranks" since it affects both the victim's insurance status and their licensing status. Not sure I see the "joke" in this.
