i can see your point here, and im not sure that it should be a criminal offence. i wonder though if you think rail fares should be treated the same, changing from criminal to civil? it struck me as odd the other day that we criminalise rail dodging.
really? you think they went out to find a particular number plate on a Porsche 928, out of the ~2000 made (worldwide)? or maybe they saw it, had a giggle and thought to base an entire episode around this inevitable joke?
