Shame he's telling it like it is, not how it's supposed to be.

That's if they ever get checked and asked for it.

Ah, such bluntness when his photos are on your website.  Are you going to
remove them now, or use them for your own gain (with acknowledgements) while
attacking him in public?

What a lot of people on this group don't seem to realise is that good old Joe
Public will always do what's easiest, not necessarily what's right, ranging
from driving offences (like sitting in the right hand lane of a freeway doing
20km/h under the limit), to not validating tickets in Melbourne, to fare
evasion, to burning off on Total Fire Bans ("But they don't apply to me!!").

If someone shows me how to break into a house (which I've legally been taught
how to do - fire fighting forceful entry), and I then go use those skills to
break and enter, is whoever taught me to blame for what I've done?  There is a
difference between being shown or seeing something, and then going and doing
the action yourself, it's called personal responsibility.
