An Arizona man is going viral for stealing photo radar signs after getting a speeding ticket. Some people react differently to getting a speeding ticket, I guess.

For some, it's no big deal. It happens. You were caught breaking the law now you have to pay the fine. Yes, it's inconvenient but you'll live. However, others see it as the end of the world. They see it as something that just can't happen! This guy in Tempe, Arizona seems to fit that description. According to AZ Family, 55-year-old Sven Siverston was driving a work truck when he was flashed for speeding by a mobile camera. Not long after, he was seen on surveillance video approaching a photo radar sign and carrying it away. Then he did it again to another one, per AZ Family. He was eventually pulled over again.

Tempe Sgt. Kurt Buczkowski tells AZ Family, "He took what would be a civil traffic infraction and a small fine or traffic school and ended up with three criminal charges and being booked into jail. So there's consequences for your actions."

You can't do that! Just because you're upset about getting a speeding ticket too! Not to mention he was in a work van so work can't be happy about all of this. Sometimes you get dealt a tough break and you just have to deal with it. He did all of this is daylight! You have to control your anger when things don't go your way.

Cort Freeman was born and raised in Metro Detroit. He was named Clarkston High School 2009 Class Clown 13 years after graduating. Totally normal thing to happen. That’s thanks to his time spent as an Intern at Comedy Central and Social Media Correspondent for The Colbert Report. Cort has done comedy across the country, both standing up and sitting down. When he’s not trying to make you laugh on-air and online, he’s probably at home enjoying his favorite shows like Seinfeld, South Park, and The Office. He’s also totally uncomfortable writing about himself in the third person. Cort enjoys writing about comedy, food, sports, and entertainment. So, basically anything and everything.
