duckbillplatypus writes "McCrary was allegedly caught going 56 mph in a 45 zone--which, in the vast scheme of speed, is not exactly at Nascar levels. He was caught by one of Bluff City's helpful speed cameras--one that happened to have issued 1,662 tickets in its first six weeks of standing guard over the populace.
McCrary happened to have some questions (other than, I think, "Why me?"), so he went to the police department's Web site. Perhaps because he is a network designer, or perhaps because at least one of his eyes was fully functional, McCray noticed a notice. It was from those helpful customer service people at GoDaddy.com. It explained that the domain had expired and that it would be sold or deleted in a mere 42 days.
So McCrary was forced to weigh his civic-minded nature against his speed camera irritation. In an act of astounding patience and fortitude, McCrary made like a camera himself, watched and waited the 42 days, and then calmly put down $10 less than his fine in order to be the proud owner of bluffcitypd.com."
