    I just caught the end of this on the news - apparently there's now have
    mobile scamera on a bike (a white Pan?) in the Swindon area paid for out of
    fines from fixed scameras. In a short period it's already notched up 900+
    tickets . . . . . .

    Why "scamera"? Are you particularly dense or is it an abbreviation for
    Speed Camera?

    or, by cunningly [sic] abusing the language, he's indicating that
    he thinks that fining people for going to fast is a scam.

    If I had friends or relatives who lived in Fast and I got fined every time I
    went to visit them then I'd certainly think it was a scam.

    Maybe he was suggesting that it _wasn't really that cunning_!

    That's not really how we use "sic", is it children? Back of the class,

    I believe it can also be used to indicate that the writer is deliberately
    misusing or misspelling a word, which would almost apply to your original
    usage.

    That would be hideously inappropriate. It's a subjective criticism of
    someone's attempt at humour and therefore it would be some kind of
    self-referential thing. If you want to quote yourself you use quotes.

    IMO.
