Don't spose there's any chance of the powers that be taking the hint that we don't want fiucking cameras.

Course not, they're making too much money from it in the name of road safety. What a load of fucking shite!

the more burnt out/destroyed/vandalised cameras i see on my travels the better i feel. Lets hope these new ones are destroyed the same day they are put in. Its the only form of vandalism i can accept - speed cameras.

Shouldn't be any here yet as they've not met type approval. Don't think you can be prosecuted from the new ones for at least another 12 months.

Like if plod use a non type approved speedgun you'll get off scott free. Mind you the LTI20 20 is approved and that recorded a magistrates bench moving at 4mph

The problem with the new ones is the stuff you need to kill them, you would be treated as a terrorist if using thermite, even though your little sister could make it!!
The old ones could be killed with sublimation bombs, ie dry ice and it left no forensic evidence at all, just gas which dispersed and water, and a few shreds of plastic water bottle.
Necklacing(tyres-burning) is ok but leaves toomuch risk if caught owing to particles of rubber, solvents etc.

I wonder if they count as a structure. If so, I wonder if we could insist that they need planning approval, and then object to them like fucking crazy on the basis of appearance! ROFL
