Terminally ill man cleared after appearing in court for mooning speed camera

A terminally-ill retired university lecturer who was arrested after mooning a speed camera as part of his bucket list, has been cleared at Redditch Magistrates Court of a public order offence.

Darrell Meekcom, 55, was detained in his back garden, in Kidderminster, by several officers from West Mercia Police after he bared his backside at a mobile speed camera van last November.

The dad-of-two, who has multiple system atrophy (MSA), was originally arrested on suspicion of indecent exposure and dangerous driving, but went on trial accused of obstructing a constable in the execution of their duty.
