    A really dumb way of doing it!

    A few years ago, one of the Brit glory sports bike mags gave a sticker sheet away as a freebie- included way a sticker for applying to the lense covering of the camera unit... Also mention on said sheet that it was intended as a joke, and was to be no way condoned- as if?!

    Anti-Vandal paint would be best. Stuff doesn't dry but hard as hell to get off the camara.

    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.

    I'm not following you here.
    This is my signature. There are many like it, but this one is mine. My signature is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life. Without me, my signature is useless. Without my signature, I am useless.

    no. if you go break a house window or the windscreen of 20 new porches at the dealer you will not get the same punishment.
    Then I could get a Kb Tshirt, move to Timaru and become a full time crossdressing faggot

    Funny to think this person thinks he has the right to speed or perhaps set off an explosive device or even damage public property. What a looser.

    Man I bet the cops have fun with them when they catch them.

    Lets face it "speed camera operator" gets about as much sympathy as parking warden, tow truck driver, or IRD employee.

    I say blow em up :-P
