Ok, we all hate those traffic cameras that send you a ticket when you commit a violation.
A 45-year-old named Stephen Ruth decided to put a cape on and fight the law.

Leave it to a Long Island resident to take his comically heavy accent to YouTube…showing his advice on “How to defeat” these cameras.
As in, he videos himself breaking the law.

Whether fact or opinion, Mr. Ruth believes that the city shortened the time on “Yellow” lights in order to ticket more drivers running Red lights.

At first, he went around cutting the wires of the camera but then the “Red Light Robinhood” figured out a more crafty way to defeat The Man.

When he was finally arrested, he got his 7-year jail sentence reduced to 1-yr probation with his cocky defense:

“In pushing up a camera, or disassembling a camera, or whatever I do to a camera, all I’m doing is preventing drivers from being ticketed, tricked into tickets”.
