The Muppet Defense

muppet-at-the-wheel

So, seems there’s this guy, it wold seem a British guy, driving around in Germany who is avoiding traffic-cam citations by, er, using a Muppet head (see photo).

Sez der German polizei:

“The number plate is not enough. We need clear evidence of who is driving the vehicle too.”

“But because this is a British vehicle we can never get a decent picture. The driver has obviously worked this out because he has placed a large puppet in the passenger seat.

“This may be an example of the famous British sense of humour but it is still dangerous driving. The driver has been caught on camera on several occasions and the puppet is on the passenger seat every time. We suspect he positions the toy deliberately before accelerating past the camera.”

I love that last line: “We suspect he positions the toy deliberately before accelerating past the camera.”

Blatant, premeditated Muppet use your honor! J’accuse! J’accuse!
