Bocholt, Germany — It was a peaceful February afternoon when suddenly a pigeon flew down a residential street at a speed of 45km/hr (28mph) — faster than the established speed limit of 30 km/hr. Now THAT’s fast.
As soon as the pigeon flew past the mobile speed camera, the camera immediately took a picture of the said pigeon.
While this happened 3 months ago, the town hall of Bocholt said that they had taken some time to assess the photos.
The penalty for speeding is €25 (£21;$28). What do you think? Should this pigeon be fined for speeding?

But for the homing pigeon (which is incorrectly categorized as English carrier pigeon) can have an average speed ranging from 97 km/hr (60 miles/ hr) to 160 km/hr (100 miles/ hr).
The South African pigeon, on the other hand, according to data gathered, has an average speed of 30 miles/ hr.
Was the pigeon here just warming up?
