yeah sort of like they said anti terrorism powers would not be used to curtail basic rights and freedoms,

which they are now being used to curtail anti blair protests , see that Brian Haw? , hes now banned from protesting you can bet the 1KM exclusion zone will grow and grow.

Well done to the chaps who torced the fucker.

Anyway, It's actually in a good place, where it's physically hard to exceed the speedlimit during the day. No worries there then.

No damage to the camera though, just burnt the metal shell.

Funny thing is is that apparently it wasn't active at the time.
