Gatso's in Staffordshire are in the sights of a new anti camera sabotage group.
At least two cameras have been put out of action by spraying and damaging the radar apertures.
The cameras then had the posts sprayed with the acronym B.R.A.G.
Quite what brag stands for is unclear at the moment, but im inclined to think its probably something along the lines of BRitish Anti-camera Group, or some such thing.
Anyways, good job so far guys i totally support your actions, even if others dont.
Further info on Uk speedtraps website on the main page.

Camera on old A550 in Hawarden Flintshire has vanished in last 3 weeks. Taxi driver told me he saw local gyppos with Landrover and chain late at night ripping it out of the ground. Beth Micheson's Arrive Alive clowns seem to have accepted defeat by tarmacing over the hole in the ground.

Still, gyppos = public spirited ? Why not !

If this group is based in Staffordshire they'll have plenty of 'targets'; try the A34 through Stoke for a start.

Bunch of sticker have started appearing on cameras around Marlow/Wycombe. £££ signs, 'Piggy Bank' and so on.

This stretch of road is a mile outside the village I live in. 8 cameras between Rugeley and Stone had there lenses sprayed with white paint and the signature BRAG. Also the 40 signs adjacent to the cameras were altered to read 140. They were cleaned about 10 days later and then BRAG reemerged and played the same trick with black paint. In addition someone appears to have modified one of the cameras with a 12 bore!! My neighbour is a BIB and had to do a blue light run along these 10 miles of road last week. He said he usually ends up with some administrative hassle due to being flashed several times. Last week at an average speed of about a ton all the cameras failed to activate.

Steve emailed me to say that the forum had to be suspended due to "security issues".
I think his site was attacked by the same bunch of lentilheads that had a go at Pauls site and others like pepipoo.
Seems if they dont like the facts they go on a rampage...... Wussies wanna man up some!

Maybe they're taking the mickey out of this lot:

Good for them, these cameras are immoral and don't represent the views of the majority. Long live civil disobedience

Deltaf! Thanks for the Info! OM, BADS!
That was a good forum that was! Seems like you CAN have free speech, if:

a) You agree with what THEY say!

b) You're NOT being effective in your arguement!


BADS!

I'm feeling a bit paranoid again Deltaf, I think I'll take fluffy "Mr Woppet" and go and hide in the cupboard under the stairs for a bit!





BADS!

Yup, I passed that camera site the next day, the poor old PC gatso was lying on the ground with the chain still wrapped around the post.

Have been told it wasn't pikey's though. BUT, who cares who did it...they did it and thats all that counts.

You local Richard?
