What power line do cameras run off. Must be access point so couldn't just "fix" that and probably less obvious.

Dare I ask where on earth you get hold of dinamite from?

Could you, obviously theoretically, use a firework to blow a gatso apart?

Yes - big fireworks work. The camera blown up awhile ago with all the press coverage was a firework.

Make the dynamite yourself but probably something else. Could be more discreat and burn a hole through it with one reaction which can burn through an engine block and very easy. Can't remeber what called.

I still remember scaring my brothers friend when we got a 6 foot flame shoot up in the barn.

Be careful what you say on here chaps i.e. how to get hold of dynamite etc.

There are some very insecure, humourless people out there who will happily turn any light hearted comments into front page news tomorrow.

The local news surprised me a couple of weeks ago cos they showed the way some local scrotes had been making fireworks mre interesting by taping them inside a phone book...Hmmm I thought: that would work well on a metal box. On a stick.

Check out the 5th picture down. The way the explosion bent the box out of shape is mad - someone really didn't want a NIP!

explosives are fairly easy too make


bit of chemmistry know how and some common sence when making the shit and Bobs your bomb.

its the blasting caps that are the bitch to fill safely and handel

ooh them thing are doggey to play with

tip fill em in sand bags behind a blast screen if posible.

that way, if you fluff it up.your just lose a few fingers ,the rest should be ok.

If anyone wishes to make any type of IED - Improvised Explosive Device, then the internet has all the answers. But you don't need a bomb.

I recently saw (in a professional capacity) a GATSO which someone had put a tyre round. Tyre had been cut, so you just had to loop it round. Cotton material soaked in an accelerant lined the tyre. Short jostick into the material, and woof!

Very simple. And did any passing motorist call the fire brigade. Nope!

Great website!! I am a seasoned chemist and an "Almost" militant camera objector, creating bombs/explosives is highly dangerous allthough the old Ammonium Nitrate / Diesel combo is always a winner but the blasting caps are very dangerous. In fact, there is no real way of being 100% safe when using explosives and I myself would shy right away......I think Guy Fawkes was on the right track myself. Usually I am the one being silly but explosives are a BAD idea and could have some BIG implications. Not really worth it, however, I would seriously consider getting a big disk cutter and felling the things. I must be getting old dismissing such action, but if I was caught a few times, I might be tempted to act. (as much as the next man)

Hi

Another anti-gatso technique that I heard about and find appealing is drilling a hole in the casing and emptying a tin of builders expending foam into it. Sh*gs the whole thing apparently!

Is also much, much safer than homemade bombs. When a sprog I specialised in sodium chlorate (weedkiller) and sugar bombs. Looking back on it I consider myself lucky to still have eyes/fingers.....

Just wondering if you would get electric shock from that.
This is all chemistry stuff the Thermite reaction is taught to school kids.

Reminds me of a line from a Blaster Bates sketch (Kersal Rugby Club probably) ... "You can always tell a good explosives man, he has all his fingers and does not talk in a high-pitched voice!" - Streaky
