Nope!
SCP fines money goes straight to the govt.
The Govt. then issues the local council with an "anti-driving" budget, which they can give as much or as little as they want to the SCP's in the form of a yearly budget.

When it's used up... it's used up. smile

...and that stops the scamera vans' overtime how?
Point being we are only destroying our own property burn a gatso and every time you get a NIP for speeding remember where the money goes and how it is spent.
Where did the money come from to roll out the Gatsos in the first place?
Who provided the money to the Governement in taxes, fines etc?
SCP's didn't spring into being...the Government set them up...with our money.
Now I don't like the way Govt are spending our money any more than anyone else...I just can't see the logic in setting fire to what it has bought however much I disagree with the duty of the object being burned.
We'll be paying for the replacement as well in one form or another....Celebrating a gatso burning falls a little flat when you remember who's cash bought it in the first place.

Shame it seemed to be more of a burning tyre, than a burning scamera.

If I'd have started the fire I would have 2 miles away saying MEEP MEEP before you could blink.

The point is that every one of these things that gets destroyed costs the council dearly. Thats money they'd rather spend on other things, like bins, parks, police, schools, roads, etc.

Kill £1,000,000 of cameras in a borough and you won't see them replaced.

So may as well stop paying taxes and simply burn the million squid instead...cut out the middle men.
Arson about like Captain Gatso and clan do won't make them go away, what it will do is encourage them to develop an indestructible version or a means to catch the arsonists in the act...spending even more of our tax squids in the process. In the mean time those we have not set on fire or blown up carry on doing what they do best...catching those who break the speed limit.
It's a simple fact that authorities faced with civil disobedience always find a way to quell it...at our own expense!

So you just carry on letting the fuckers do whatever they like to you without a murmur of protest. That'll help no end.

Whoosh! Straight over your head.

Budget used up = no overtime for scamvans.
Budget used up = no money for replacement camera.

Also, as you stated, we've already paid for them... they are ours... and now we want to burn them! smile

Then vote for politicians who will remove the scameras, as the Canadians did. That will stop your property being burned.

Nobody is burning your property. You can have the bit buried in the ground, surrounded by concrete.

We'll have the yellow bit on top.
