I agree 100%......... unless it's a speed camera

Finally another use for speed cameras ....

[OLDFORDNUT]

The camera on the Toowoomba Range (QLD)has been destroyed several times and at a cost of $55,000 dollars a time and fines last month in the short time it was operational of only $900 it should be taken down permanetly soon as its cost has far outweighed any income. keep up the good work

[SS Eater]

I know of a camera near Canberra that has been destroyed a couple of times, so they put a camera to watch the camera.........but what is watching that camera,

[OLDFORDNUT]

the one on Toowoomba range has the camera watching camera but the old long distance rifle shot from somewhere down the mountain has made that idea worthless,lol

[rancidpunx]

So, all it takes is an old tyre and a jerry can.

[Tucool]

Could be an interesting hobby

[aussie muscle]

this was linked above

Australian Cops block speed cameras
Local media reports confirm that officers are also parking their police vehicles, emergency lights activated, near mobile speed camera cars providing clear warning to approaching motorists. During these "welfare checks" the officers carefully investigate whether the speed camera operator might be in need of any assistance and remain to ensure his safety. Union officials insist that none of these actions harm public safety, although they may reduce state government revenue.

that's a good idea. put a police car before the camera, everyone slows down and avoids a ticket...

[yift]

pity our cameras arent as low, if they were then none would be alive now.

[mik]

it seems the outrage at these revenue boxes is much higher in other countries than here.

[TerritoryTurbo]

That's the only fire I wouldn't try to help put out.

[barra265t]

In some outer suburbs/rural communities, its not uncommon for 80 km/h speed limit signs on dead straight backroads to mysteriously vanish and never reappear. What better way than to remove the actual road limit (well, at least bring it up to the 100 rural default) than try to thwart the enforcement of it?

[LTDHO]

So on average how much money does a camera generate per day?

[mac_man_luke]

I recon the gift wrapped one was the best ;)

[irlewy86]

I saw a speed camera on fire recently, I jumped into action and performed my civic duty by informing the authorities.






I'm eagerly awaiting reimbursement for my postage stamp.

[trippytaka]

They have 24/7 CCTV and a light @ night on the Fixed Speed Camera in Killara. Seems that the upper North Shore "dealt" with the camera one too many times :P Also, when I go to my mate's farm at Oberon, there's always shotgun pellet holes in that speed camera LOL

[jamesson1980]

Fire?? That's for whimps.. here's a more dedicated approach:


And here's a mobile revenue parasite dealt with on a Brisbane road:

Can not understand why anyone would want to hurt a speed camera.

Thats because australians are lazy and apethetic. **** and moan all day long, but when it actually comes to action... nothing.

[XR_6falcon]

Ive always had the urge to take an angle grinder to a speed camera.....

[TheInterceptor]

Has anyone tried an electro magnetic approach? Fry the box from the inside, but not before frying the cam watching it.

hmm...........

The Gatso destruction (your second link) in the UK is carried out by highly organised, but loosely coordinated groups who have been destroying Gatsos for many years. They are very succesfull and to my knowledge have avoided prosecution.

MMMMM ... anyone interested in forming a social group??? LOL

yeah i've wondered about an old CB radio (27mhz)
with a 2kw linear amplifier...

might be worth a try!!

[Matt47569]

does spray paint over the lense work? or is there a non stick coating of some sort?
