BLUFF CITY, Tenn. – Brian McCrary found the perfect venue to gripe about a $90 speeding ticket when he went to the Bluff City Police Department’s website (to pay the ticket), saw that its domain name was about to expire, and bought it right out from under the city’s nose.Now that McCrary is the proud owner of the site, http://www.bluffcitypd.com, the Gray, Tenn., computer network designer has been using it to post links about speed cameras – like the one on U.S. Highway 11E that caught him – and how people don’t like them.
“It’s kind of surprising that they’d just let it lapse like that,” McCrary said, adding that the new site has logged 1,200 unique visitors since he took it over May 22. “I figured they would be aware [it was about to expire] and renew it on their own.”

LMAOOOOO! That made my day. The police are unamused and say they have started a new website. Good luck with that because all us net users know which one will come up in the browsers forever. The police chief is not techo-savy and had no clue.

OMG! That is SO funny! What are the odds that he'd go to their website and it would be for sale? Good for him. I hope it irritates the CRAP out of them!
The domain had expired and the police had been notified, but, it slipped their mind. Dumbass's. LOL!
Bwah ha ha! That is awesome.
If he wasn't on their radar before, he will be now.
