On reading this My first thought was that if the fatalities are continuing, whats the point in the Camera anyway???

Sorry, but I applaud this type of direct action.

Realise this won't be a popular view, but if they (Government/partnerships) won't listen to the growing negetive public opinion and continue manipulating statistics, then this is what happens...

As long as no one is hurt, then good on them.

Article said that "several fatal accidents had occurred at that location and camera is genuine safety need."

So - not stopped the accidents then!

Nor the apparent "speeding"

Wonder why! Ach Nein They could not possibly have been doing what people claim --- and paying more attention to the dashboard and not the cars in front and potential hazards called pedestrians?

Surely not!

Begs question - why not invest in GPS detector? Bleeps long before you reach danger area to remind you to check the driving and the speedo.

But then - surprising numbers have not even heard of these useful gadgets!

If you want something done properly, do it yourself.
Now where did I put those matches??

Same here! If I ever saw someone doing it I'd give them a toot on the horn and a big thumbs up!

The search is now over! It's Kryton (from Red Dwarf) and a similar android.

I wonder if 'Angle Grinder Man' will turn his hand to speed cameras as well as wheel clamps?

In for a penny...

We live in hope.

What is most amusing, and hasn't been mentioned, is that the Old Bill are now having to use cameras to protect the cameras and thus protect their revenue stream.
Now, what price a two-for-one and get the speed camera and the surveillance camera in one hit?
Just what does it take to get the message across. Maybe if, say, 1500 fixed cameras were destroyed in one night across the entire country they might just take notice.
I wonder why M.A.D. are using tyres, etc, which must take time to set up. Surely, if one was really determined to take direct action a 12-bore with Magnum shell would really do the job quickly, cleanly and totally, with minimum risk to the 'heroes'. You could drive by on false plates and not even have to stop.
Not that I would advocate anything like that, of course, I mean, that would be anarchy!

It's been a while since I saw this last and didn't realise he'd "upgraded" to speed cameras. Excellent work...
