UK Traffic warden asks offender to pose with him...
A traffic warden in England has been sacked after telling motorists he would help get their fines scrapped if they posed for a photo with the ticket. The cop took 200 shots of bemused parking offenders next to their cards. "The pictures were for my book project", he told the drivers. His employer banned him from using his work camera before finally sacking him.
(Me: Recently there was a news here that said the tax sleuths who went to raid/investigate a famous film star posed themselves for a group photo with him!)
