Not that many fixed speed cameras around. And there are significant ethical complications involved with blowing up a manned mobile speed camera van.

Not so much the speed cameras, but all of this CCTV stuff that is going on everywhere these days has got some serious potential for curtailing the privacy of the individual.
When the authorities fail to convince the population that speed cameras are anything but a round-about tax, then it is no wonder that some people take matters into their own hands. Civil disobedience is in some cases the only realistic way of getting anything done.

You wouldnt be able to see it unless your looking for it so it'd have more of a chance of staying disabled before it gets fixed.
The low cost of the repair means if u get snapped (hehe) the fine will be way down.
Well, it'd still be vandalism of public property - as such the fine and potential legal implications probably wouldn't be too different.
