Speed Demon gets Ticket then Buys Police Departments Website

[Smalgov]

Nobody likes getting a speeding ticket. But when Brian McCrary, 33, received a speeding ticket in Bluff City, Tennessee, he didn't just complain, he bought the local police department's website and used it to complain.

That's awesome!
I didn't see what the domain name was, did you?

I would think the Police Dept. could get it back for brand identity...
Do they have a new one?

According to GoDaddy: Once a Domain Name Expires, It's Fair Game for Anyone..

I didn't see if the police chief said they had another website or not. He didn't know the Domain Name expired until the reporters started calling him.

I think it is legit...

LMAO This is pretty funny. But mad respect for the guy. He took the time and found away to get back at them. I wonder if my police department has a website. I bet every little town in the nation has some guy checking to see whos website he can buy after reading this article.
