What angle to beat a GATSO?

[Mozzer]

What angle would you need to go through a GATSO at on your back wheel for your plate to be unvisible?

(Note: This is humour...)

At what ever angle it takes to hit your No. plate on the floor to rip it clean off your bike

[nrml76]

It would depend on the bike and how the numberplate is mounted; I think you would have to be doing a standing wheelie at a fairly close to vertical angle to be 100% certain, but I might be wrong. Having said that, the best way to approach a gatso, is from directly behind, on foot, wearing a balaclava, taking with you a peace offering of a can of petrol and an old tyre .

I've been wondering recently on what the quickest method of disabling a speed camera would be, that would require the minimum of materials. A car tyre and can of petrol might do the job, but it's not something you can have up your jumper. Apparently, cavity wall insulation is the way to go, but I'd have thought that would require some time and maybe a few cans to get it done right. Simple can of spray paint over the lens maybe? Something a little more permanent would be preferable. A shotgun shell in a pipe on a stick? Would be handy for those of us who are vertically challenged, but they don't sell ammo at Halfords.

Any ideas? Purely from a research point of view, of course

Black spray paint would do it I reckon.

Thermite!

Bag of thermite onto the amera (tape will do), run the detination wire around the corner and pull the detenator. Try stop that you "Cash Point" gits.

[TheShaggyDA]

Grenades, thermite - not exactly something you can pick up at Tesco, are they?

[edit] Although a quick search found this

[mr jamez]

Thermite is iron oxide and aluminium powder, so you could quite easily make some at home. Setting it off is a bit harder, but I am sure we have some experts here

Apparently a sparkler works

Thermite has been tried. A guy in Wales melted a speed camera with it. They still managed to recover his picture and he was charged with criminal damage and conspiracy to cause explosions. I presume he is now spending some quality time behind bars.

Powdered magnesium piled over an overloaded electrolytic capacitor as a remote electronic detonator burns with a teriffic amount of heat I believe. Certainly enough to overcome the initial enthalpy required to make yourself some pure iron metal by reacting iron oxide with powdered aluminium.

[MarkJ]

I always imagined the best way to destroy one would be to drill a hole in the back with a portable drill, pour a bit of petrol inside and lob a match in (however if the metal box the innards are in is hard to drill this obviously wouldn't work).

However, I've heard you can put some cling film over the lense that takes the picture. It's hard to notice it's on there from a distance but it makes all the pictures out of focus. Apparently.

[Jebus]

hehehe, that would be so much fun make a litte pipe filled with thermite and tape it to the top of a speed camera stick a sparkler in the top and watch it burn! dont think it really possiable and if you did the rozzers would pull you for the dodgy angle anyway.

It would be even more entertaining if you drilled a hole in the box and inserted a 2-stage charge that first dispersed a quantity of thermite as a cloud of dust THEN ignited it.

Mind you, the commonly acepted protocall is to hang a burning tyre round their 'neck'.

If you had some tools could you take it apart and steal the camera?

why not just hit it with a blinking hammer, cover your face and no one is the wiser?

[lilredmachine]

[bEN_]

isn't cling film supposed to work?
if you put it on right it completely blurrs the image and when/if someone comes to check the camera they probably won't spot it, and if it's done right they won't even see the cling film.

Hi

Quick simple way to put them out of action (but not do anything to the film) would be to use some strong filler into the lock to stop them taking the camera down to put in / take out films.

For the cameras that work off an inductive loop in the road it is probably easy to just cut through the wires (or just some petrol on the road surface and set fire to it).

All the best

Mount this on your bike, and the problem is solved.

Fires 10,000 rounds per minute. Aka 160-170 rounds per second. You should not be able to miss...

[steveh]

not saying ive done it

but i know two lads who got some black and white tape and neatly put the black tape in the camera bit and the white tape in the flash part, so it looked like a flash bulb in the day..

i belive "one" of them used a motorcycle buff to cover there faces at 3 in the morning.


was there for months afterwards..(i belive)

i have heard that clim film is best, as there is no obvious damage, but the pics just dont come out clear

firebombed ones tend to get noticed quickly and are then replaced at tax payers expense
