Driver jailed over laser jammer and abusive gesture
A man who used a "laser jammer" - a device that confuses police speed vans - has been jailed after he drove past officers showing them the middle finger.
Timothy Hill, 67 of Old Mill Lane in Grassington drove past North Yorkshire Police’s mobile safety camera vans on the A19 near Easingwold, Thirsk and Crathorne on three occasions in December.
Officers began an investigation after realising he was using the jammer.
He admitted he was the driver and he had fitted the device to his car and he was charged with perverting the course of justice, which he pleaded guilty to at court.
He was jailed for eight months at Teesside Crown Court today and banned from driving for a year for perverting the course of justice.
“If you want to attract our attention, repeatedly gesturing at police camera vans with your middle finger while you’re driving a distinctive car fitted with a laser jammer is an excellent way to do it."

Lorry driver's lucky escape on A1
It looks like this lorry driver had a narrow escape on the A1 in North Yorkshire yesterday:
Emergency services came to the rescue in Boroughbridge when the wagon's refrigerated trailer full of food burst into flames.
Fire crews from Boroughbridge, Knaresborough and Ripon, using breathing apparatus, were able to uncouple the cab in time for it to escape any damage.
It's thought the fire started because of the lorry's brakes overheating.
Knife crime surge in Yorkshire - Latest figures
Knife crime has surged in Yorkshire while it's actually gone down in London, according to the latest figures.
The statistics, from the House of Commons Library, show there was a 45% rise in Yorkshire knife crime in the seven years to 2017. In contrast, it went down by 12% in London.
It comes as £15m has been cut from youth services in eight areas of our region since 2011.
The Department for Communities and Local Government says it's giving councils more money, more freedom and more certainty over long-term funding.

Beyond the wildwood: Orphaned badgers and fox best of pals
BBC Local Live, Yorkshire
How about this for an unlikely group of pals.
These baby badgers and Phoebe the baby fox have become firm pals after all being rescued and then taken in by the Whitby Wildlife Sanctuary.
The orphans sleep in the same bed, eat from the same bowl and play together.
Alex Farner, founder of the Whitby Wildlife Centre, told me the badgers were found near Meltham in West Yorkshire wandering through a woodland aged just three weeks old.
The baby fox turned up in a box at a vets in Leeds.
Alex said the people who spotted the badgers watched them for four hours, struggling on a steep bank without mum, who it's thought was killed after being hit by a car.
She says: "They were so young they didn't even have teeth."
"Foxes and badgers would never mix in the wild," she added. "But these three were wild animals without their mothers, all of a similar size and we thought we could place them together as long as we kept a close eye on them."
Now at six weeks old the fox and badgers are happy and safe to be left playing at sleeping together, but Alex says "they'll be separated when they're older and released back to the wild."

Food 'rotters' wanted in North Yorkshire
A campaign's under way across North Yorkshire to cut back on the thousands of tonnes of food thrown away each year.
