Camera Phone and Bluetooth Forces Drunk Man to Pony Up ₤1,000
Sep 21, 2007
Actually, it should've been more. Apparently, when Frankie Hulme jumped on top of a Lamborghini and ran across the roof, he caused ₤20,000 of damage. Such a exaggerated figure aside, the point is that his misdeed was caught on video by friends's handy camera phones.
That should've been the end of the story. But, the video made the Bluetooth rounds, and eventually ended up with a boy scout, who dutifully showed it to the owner of the car, his boss.
As a result, Frankie was ordered by a judge to pay ₤1,000, and render 100 hours of unpaid work. The perils of drunkedness caught by pocket smartphone and PDA cameras, ladies and gentlemen, not to mention the easy sharing allowed by Bluetooth.
