Man who got traffic camera speeding ticket buys Bluff City P.D.'s expired Web domain for revenge
By Associated Press

BLUFF CITY, Tenn. — A man who opposes police use of cameras to send speeding tickets snatched a bully pulpit when the Bluff City Police Department allowed its Web site to expire.

Computer network designer Brian McCrary of Gray discovered the police site was up for grabs, so he paid domain provider Go Daddy for the rights and is the proud new owner of http://www.bluffcitypd.com.

McCrary, who told the Bristol Herald Courier he received a $90 speeding citation, took over the site May 22.

The parody site McCrary put up shows a smiling cartoon police badge clutching green currency. It also posts gripes from other people who've been cited.

Bluff City Police Chief David Nelson said the officer who managed the site had been on medical leave and the expiration slipped up on the department.
