There was an article on Radio 4 yesterday about the Avon & Somerset speed camera partnership.
The police in that area has fallen out with the partnership becasue even they disagree with the blanket charging, and see the vandalism as a natural
occurance. One guy recently down there drove by a camera van three times and pelted it with eggs! Good on him, although they think they have his reg
number. Hope it was false for his sake!!
The guy in charge of the partnership (apart from being a complete twat) said that 150,000 tickets is their aim this year come what may!
150,000 x say £30 = £4.5 mill a year. In just one corner of Britain!
He also said "the cameras are in areas of known accident OR SPEEDING blackspots".
Does this prove the mutha fuckas are targetting non accident blackspots? Surely not. Put them in front of schools or where people have genuinely died
of course...
I am moving to the point of view that this rebellion is both natural in a police state and is in fact the right thing to do.

its good they point out that some are useful, like the one on the level crossing. i personally would just spray paint them so people still slow down
but cant get nicked. There arent any in my area that need removing unfortunately as they are mostly in sensible places.
anyone know scotthall road where it passes chapeltown? its on a dual carrigeway, down a hill with a big hedge on the central reservation. without the
camera people would be doing up to 100 down that hill, and it would be nearly impossible to turn right cos you cant see thru the hedge.
but yeah, on country roads BURN EM!!!

I wonder if you can call up to get them destroyed like you can to get your wheel clamps removed.
I'm sure I've got one, just don't know where I've put it

Method of choice in my area is to hook an old tyre over the camera, fill with petrol and ignite.
Very messy result...

Shock , Horror!!!!!!
This would be terrible if all this destruction where to escalate, it would be like 'power to the people', in time it just wouldn't
be worth putting the cameras up...................

didn't they say that the cameras that were being done time after time were going to be monitored by cctv so instead of one camera 2 would be
done in.

When the majority of people in this country wake up to what's really going on in their name, they're going to need cameras to watch the
cameras, watching the cameras.....ad infinitum.
Speed cameras are being used as a stealth tax, remember what happened with the poll tax?
The only people alowed to have guns in this country are the farmers, come on the NFU, how about increasing the popularity of your members?
Some target- practice is just what they need to improve their aim in dealing with "varmints"

Note to all: I really don't know when to leave well alone. I tried to get clever with the mods, then when they gave me a lifeline to see the
error of my ways, I tried to incite more trouble via u2u. So now I'm banned, never to return again. They should have done it years ago!

They don't need to you've already paid for them out of your taxes many times over. If everyone stuck to the limit for a few months they
might think twice about installing them when the revenue dried up. As for the destruction of the cameras, the arson method carries a severe penalty if
you get caught as would shooting them, discharging a weapon in a public place. Even a farmer wouldn't get away with that one.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

[Some one did a really good job of one in Northants by blowing it up. I couldnt work out how but eventally found that they had inserted a long length
of detonating cord through a hole in the casing and then detonated it. The casing was completely blown apart and the camera was left dangling on a
wire. It is just down the road from one shown on that site that had been beheaded with a disk cutter.
