The story:
A speed camera in western Switzerland has snapped a duck twice within a period of three days, Swiss police said on Friday.
The camera in Köniz, a municipality southwest of the city of Bern, picked up the first offense as a duck shot through the air 22 kilometers per hour (13.5 miles per hour) over the speed limit for vehicles.
“The duck was traveling in a low-altitude flight at 52 kilometers per hour in a 30-kilometer zone,” local police said in a statement accompanying a picture of the airborne speed fiend.
Three days later, the same camera snapped a duck flying at a similar speed.
But police said they could not determine whether it was a repeat offender or whether they were dealing with a flock of felons.
The duck or ducks were lucky to escape a hefty bill. Exceeding the speed limit by 22 kilometers per hour in a built-up area in Switzerland can result in an official police complaint, a fine and a minimum one-month driving ban.
The alpine country calculates fines based on the offender’s wealth. In 2010, it billed a Swiss driver some $290,000 for clocking 137 kilometers per hour in an 80-kilometer zone.
And a duck joke to complement the above:
A duck walks into a drugstore and buys some Chapstick. He walks up to the register and the clerks says “Will that be cash or charge?”
The duck replies ” Just put it on my bill.”

Thanks to the city’s quack police squad, they’ve captured the offender – one Mr. Drake – while he was taking a gander at the local watering hole.
When reached for comment, the Police Captain merely stated “This fowl business will not stand!”
Dad joke, dude; maybe the ne plus ultra of dad jokes.
I hope they quack this case, and nab those ducks.
Ha! ^So far my #1 in this fowl pun cavalcade.
I think this duck will be grounded. Suspended license maybe?
That duck will have the old bill (English slang for the police )after him/her.
This crime will never fly!
Who snapped the pic of that poor duck? It was an act of sheer bustardry. A duck should have a little privacy, with no pekin, eider thought. But that’s the price you pay for doing Berne-outs in Switzerland.
Forgive the wordplay, but I can’t help dabbling.
The offender should be tarred and feathered!
