Dog Driver

Police in Slovakia have fined the owner of a car after a speed camera appeared to show a dog in the driver’s seat.  To quote from a Facebook post by the police (machine translated):

Senica police officers could not believe their eyes on the police radar. Instead of a photo of the driver, a brown hunting dog smiled beautifully at the camera, sitting obediently behind the wheel of the glove box, peeking through the windshield at a hopeful young doe.


The post also carried a copy of the snapshot while clarifying that it was neither photoshopped nor a fake:

However, the post did not mention the specific grounds for the fine.  To quote from the BBC report of the news:

It's not clear if the fine - issued to the owner, rather than the dog - was for speeding, or for failing to secure the pet in a moving vehicle.
