Slightly off topic, some of the local "we are perfect" brigade in my village complained of speeding traffic. In the fullness of time the police actually ran a speed trap and the 2 local people caught were the complainers, one of whom was also driving while over the drink drive limit.
I have a great aversion and very little respect for these local vigilante groups, 99% of the time, they are of "a type".
