How to Pervert the Course of Justice

God, I love the British.  Here’s a story about a guy in England who had already lost his license so in a bid to make lemonade with a few lemons he took cash in exchange for pleading guilty for other peoples’ driving violations.  When someone would get caught speeding by one of the gazillion traffic cameras in England they would pay this dude to take the rap for them.  He got caught after pleading guilty fifty times over six months.

My favorite part of the story is that the people who paid him have been pleading guilty to charges of “attempting to pervert the course of justice.”  I guarantee you that if this had happened here in the states the charges wouldn’t have sounded nearly so, well, perverse.
