Man Uses Speed Camera
To Power His House
07 Feb 2009 A 44-year-old man Polish man came up with a better use for the speed camera that had constantly flashed outside his home in Mragowo, a town north of Warsaw.  The man, identified by Warminsko-Mazurska police only as Piotr W., admitted earlier this month to burying an extension cord two feet underground to tap into the automated ticketing machine's power supply.
Between December 2007 and January 2009, the camera powered not only the man's home, but that of a neighbor. It took more than a year before officials noticed that the electricity bill for the police was unusually high. On January 27, an officer who was sent out to investigate found the buried cord and followed it to Piotr's home. Upon being confronted, Piotr W. and girlfriend Anna M. immediately pleaded guilty to taking the power. In light of this cooperation, a judge suspended a jail sentence and ordered the man to repair the damage, pay a fine of 800 Zlotych (US $225), and pay back the city for the 4300 Zlotych (US $1200) in electricity taken.
