SPEEDING FINES BANNED BY GERMAN JUDGE

And just when I thought Common Sense was dead Judge Helmut Knoener proved it wasn't.


A JUDGE is refusing to punish any more speeding drivers – because he says police use cameras to fill up empty municipal coffers.


Helmut Knoener, based in the British Army garrison town of Herford, Germany, has let off more than 40 drivers in a week.

He is issuing no more penalties until MPs look “at how and why speed cameras are used”.
