Britons protest by destroying surveillance cameras

[aries]

Just curious, is there any way to "fix" the cameras so they would not send any "pictures" of speeders?

Yeah, whack them with a steel bat or duct tape all over them.

I don't know about this  -

"It's incredibly difficult to get to people to come to terms with slowing down here," said Francis Ashton, the road safety manager for the city of Nottingham. "In the States, you have much slower speed limits, and there's more of a culture of sticking to the speed limit."

Nobody here likes speed limits either.  I'm assuming there aren't any of these cameras in NH?

One of the "vigilante" groups has a website http://www.speedcam.co.uk/index2.htm  They have some pictures of cameras that have been destroyed/set on fire, etc...   These guys need to move to NH!!!

We do have much lower limits. england recently had a huge lowering of limits... rural windy 2-way roads with limits of 70-80mph were reducted to 50-60... whereas here they would be 50-50 already.

BUT we have no cameras at all, and many people hit 70 on backroads
