Police Website Bought by Man Cited for Speeding...Who Uses Site to Complain About Police

BLUFF CITY, Tenn. (CBS/AP) When the Bluff City, Tenn. police department accidentally let its website expire, a local man eager to complain about those very same police swooped in and commandeered the site.

Computer network designer Brian McCrary, who says he received a $90 speeding citation earlier this year, acquired the site, and is using it to gripe about traffic cameras that issue speeding tickets.

McCrary told the Bristol Herald Courier he paid domain provider Go Daddy for the rights to http://www.bluffcitypd.com.

His site now shows a smiling cartoon police badge clutching green currency (see above). It also posts gripes from others who've been cited by the police.

Police Chief David Nelson said the officer who managed the website had been on medical leave, and the expiration caught the department off guard.
