Write it up in the newspaper if I were you, this is sloppy police work. If we lie down they will bury us with fines. This is a money harvesting mechanism more than it is a speeding deterrent these days.

You know, that's an excellent idea. I think I'll do that. I agree, it is sloppy police work. I work in a field where documentaiton is critical, and it just doesn't fly to leave things blank and get by with the bear minimum.
