Attacking speed cameras isn't just an antipodean or even an English-speaking occupation. A Swiss driver flashed by a speed camera attacked it with a pickaxe, ran it over with his car and then threw it off a cliff.
He was doing nearly 50mph in a 30mph zone through the Swiss village of La Punt Chamues-ch in the Alps when he was flashed by the camera. He used the pick axe to smash the camera from its mountings, then drove the remains up a mountain to throw it off a cliff. Both film and camera were destroyed, but the police spotted him as he was disposing of the device -- must have been fairly conspicuous -- and arrested.
He faces a fine of up to £13,000 for destruction of public property.
We've looked at how sneaky the Swiss authorities can be on hiding the devices -- see below for link.
