A Bartow County, Georgia, couple had installed $1,200 worth of video cameras and a radar gun outside their home to catch speeders in their neighborhood and convince people to slow down for safety. It's good to see people take a genuine interest in the safety of their neighborhood, and things were rolling on smoothly until their surveillance system tagged a cop driving part at 17 mph over the posted speed limit.
The officer was able to come up with an excuse to dodge the penalty for speeding, and is now planning on pressing charges against the couple for stalking. Yes, stalking.
The couple were "allegedly stalking a Kennesaw police officer by installing cameras to track neighborhood speeders." I'm sorry, but if the cameras were installed to track neighbourhood speeders, how exactly are they stalking someone who happens to speed by?
