Soz,may cause a little controversy here,but what the hell,it's open forum, and In idle moments I often think of new ways to destroy cameras. Reading the current threads about heavy handed policing, what ideas do we have?Throwing a tyre around it and lighting it is effective but a little crude, and attracts attention.Pulling it over with a truck and chain is handy, but again, some muppet will report you and you'll soon be done for it.Same goes for burning gear and petrol driven grinders - they make a racket (the grinders anyway) and destroying the pole can't be the way to go, it's the expensive equipment inside we need to wreck.So, my current thinking is along the lines of a 20mm hole drilled discretely late at night in the case and the pouring in of something that will irreparably damage the contents. What, though? Sulphuric acid (drain cleaner) might do the trick perhaps. Something that disolves the plastic resin circuit boards are made of?? Expanding foam?A sharp object driven into the lens and flash at the same time would add to the damage without making too much noise.Any advance? BB

A 12 Bore works wonders .... (allegedly) Even better when used on Nov 5th or Dec 31st as no-one takes any notice

I have heard that expanding foam makes a nice mess of the innards, but cannot condone such criminal activity. According to some news report the other day only about 50% of cameras are operational at any time. Trouble is which ones ? !!!!

JP and Ian are of course correct. Don't speed through them and they'd don't need to ever worry you (although I did see one flash a car recently that was clearly well within the speed limit).

But there is another option. If everyone gets together and spends say two years purposefully crashing at all the speed cameras sites in the UK (I'd suggest ten serious crashes every year), then the various road safety partnerships will come to the conclusion that cameras do not reduce accidents and they'll scrap them all!

Ok, so it's a daft option. But no dafter than others on this thread lol!!

By the way. The "lens" on speed cameras is actually just a clear perspex panel that sits in a slot inside the box. The lens for the camera is of course built into the camera itself inside the box. The perspex panel is there specifically to stop the lens of the camera getting damaged and so it you paint it, cover it with glue or whatever, all they'll do is slide it out of the slot and slide a new one in. They're designed to be periodically replaced and maintenance teams carry them as standard.
