| 1224582 | 2011-08-19 22:30:00 | Apparently I have been speeding .... 7/ 5/11 @ 7.25am speed over 55 Zone ... Somewhere in New York State. They've even been kind enough to send me a copy of the ticket in a .zip file so that I can print it off and send it back with my cheque .... I think not !!! |

On receiving something like this you can react in fury or disbelief. The first thing that you want to to do is find out is what it is all about. A natural thing is to open the .zip file to find out. Next thing you know is you have downloaded a virus of some kind. Best thing to do is to smile and delete it. I doubt that the the New York State Police will com over here looking for you. |

The future of policing? That is not so far off. Notice that everyone/organisation/etc wants to know your email address these days? |
