I hit one on the bike before, surely they need to be calibrated even though me hitting it at 20/30 mph didn't appear to do anything to it it must have been knocked out of wack.

A tyre hanging from them with fuel in seems to be the favoured option, but the most impressive are those that have been blown apart with TNT.

Apparently, expanding foam does a good job too... Whistle

What than putting a tire over it pouring petrol then setting it on fire? Laughing Laughing Laughing Laughing

How much easier do you want it? I suppose you could stare at it and try Jedi Mind trick it ablaze.

If you had something solid like a landy you could try throwing a rope over and pulling it down.

The easiest way to disable one though, rather than destroy, is spraying over the sensors. Nice and quick, and cheap.

I think we should have a BCF competition. Register under different names as to avoid getting caught, and then post examples of your "work".

Whoever wrecks the most cameras, or the most spectacular destruction, wins. Twisted Evil

I don't mind GATSOs. They're easy to spot, and usually not even active. As for the forward facing cameras they use in many counties, and indeed the average speed cameras Thumbs Up

The more the authorities rely on cameras, the fewer traffic police are on the roads who have a real chance of surprising and spotting speeding riders.

It's the hidden camera vans and radar guns that piss me off, and you can't just vandalise those (at least you can't and get away with it).

Thermite would be a good way to destroy one....

It'd slowly melt and ooze through the camera..... Mr. Green Cool

Nah, subtle is the way to go for me. If you go to any shop like hobbycraft you can buy spray glue, in an aerosol. It is clear, so it won't show but it is blurry as hell and sets like, well, glue Twisted Evil

Spray that over the sensor and camera windows and the camera will be useless. The good thing is that it is clear, so the vandalism won't show and removing it requires thinners.

Cheers

As much as it brings joy to my eyes to see them burned out... they cost a fortune these things and we're footing the bill for them out of tax payers money so any that get trashed have to be replaced?

Surely the most amusing way would be to simply tie a bin bag over it... repeatedly. It'd take at least a week for anyone to notice then call an engineer trained to remove bin liners to come out and remove it. If you keep an eye on the camera you'll know quite quickly that the bag has been removed, then go and stick another one over it!

See how many times you can repeat this before you get caught! Laughing

What you can do is note the reg of it, get some plates made for it, then speed past it about 6 or so times.

I just thought of how they are paid for too....
To be honest i doubt a few wrecked camera's wont cost much to fix as opposed to all the other bullshit our government spends our money on.
I would much rather kill a camera and have the tax payers money fix it than some smug cunt of an MP taking a bit for pocket money or to fund something stupid like this:

https://www.thisislondon.co.uk/news/article-23550789-revealed-the-secrets-of-the-50ft-robo-spider.do

I hate this government, i know i've gone a bit off topic but i'd trust a baby more with my money than i would the government

I seem to remember Jay Leno on his recent Top Gear appearance saying that they wouldn't last in the USA as people would shoot them.

He then was surprised why no-one superglued cups over them.
Does anyone know if a large McDonalds coffee or pop cup would do the job?
Purely for academic research of course Wink Shifty

Someone I once met down the pub who I didn't know and wouldn't recognize if I saw him again, was thinking of doing this to one of those small cameras set up on long poles.
I suggested that, as he worked in a hospital putting "bio-hazzard" tape on the bag might add to the joke.
I later saw the camera with a bag covered in "bio-hazzard" tape over it. Very Happy Very Happy Very Happy

It was on there for about a week.


Instead of spraying paint on the lenses how about that glass etch spray???

As ashwell points out in the big scheme of things it hardly makes any difference, but another aspect of it is that the department of transport has a budget, and if every camera across the land was taken out, I think they wouldn't be given any extra by central government to replace them.

I can imagine that on a big scale with hundreds of people doing it, it could really snarl up their system, but the occasional one could be dealt with relatively easily maybe..?

While I like that, it doesn't have the same impact as seeing a torched one. Part of the attraction of all this for me is the outward display of civil disobedience against something that is fundamentally wrong.

If the British electorate are starting to develop a backbone when it comes to these things, it would be nice for all to see a bit of extra encouragment, via the medium of burnt out cameras Smile

According to this article in the Times, it's up to ten years. Shocked

So, if you do do something, don't whatever you do, get caught doing it Very Happy
