Good effort but I'd take inspiration from the French on this one.
What they did with speed cameras was there was a small hole in the camera, they'd use expanding foam to fill it up, destroy the equipment inside and then they can't just clean it, it'd be out of action for weeks at huge expense.
I'm in favor of destroying them anyway that is possible. Foam, water, saw it off, smash it with a bat, get a screwdriver and take it apart to sell the pieces, whatever is needed.
I prefer the foam because there's no obvious damage to it so they don't know the reason until the physically check it of why it doesn't work and we all know how slow bureaucrats are.
Even replacing them is going to be a bugger because it's local councils doing it and they're shit at this sort of thing. I see it all the time in my area, more often than not if something get's broken or a road gets closed they'll take forever to do anything with it because it's the council and that's what they're like. The thoughtless and lazy fuckers often even end up leaving bits of signage lying around for months and never come back and get it. Adding to that things that do get broken quite often they end up removing entirely even at the best of times.
This ULEZ shit is just one of many grievances people have against councils for foreigners who don't know what's going on. The class divide in the UK is pretty real and everyone's getting more and more costs dumped on them as they're priced of the road by this bullshit. So tradesmen and people like that are getting fucked hard and people are getting very angry over it to the point even the council people probably realise they're quite fucked if this rolls out in earnest.
Very much possibly looking at the same situation as with the farmers, people just getting fed up with the main parties and having a workers of the world unite situation. I mean, possibly? But we'll see what happens because I've often complained about the British public and how they behave towards stuff like this. You never know though, precisely because of their fuck you got mine attitude problems this might be what sets them off because they won't want to pay up.
Yes that's exactly it, we're a small island nation so the road networks matter a lot for every day life basically loads of people who rely on vans as an example as well are getting fucked hard by the ULEZ system.
Sounds like a great solution. Of course, torn down cameras smashed to bits on the ground I think is a good symbol too. Whichever way works at the moment.
Under the plans, people who drive in the zone in a vehicle which does not meet minimum emissions standards are now required to pay a £12.50 daily fee or risk a £180 fine, reduced to £90 if paid within 14 days.
To comply with Ulez standards, petrol cars must generally have been first registered after 2005, while most diesel cars registered after September 2015 are also exempt from the charge.
So, it's a tax on poor people that drive old cars. No one can kick you when you're down like the government.
When the UK first put up speed cameras, Brits were breaking them off and burning them. Eventually the government had to put them in these giant fire proof enclosures.
“And how we burned during rush hour on the M1 later, thinking: What would things have been like if every ULEZ operative, when he went out at night to install those cameras, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family?"

What if I can't find the hole? Just start spraying anyway?
Boil 'em mash 'em stick 'em in a stew.

I have to wonder if it's because regular people use roads. ULEZ is there to enrich tyranny, so there will be a lot more motivation to fix it fast.

Do both, then.
Red paint outside, foam inside.
''Hey boss, I got the paint off the camera. I'k gonna go roll to the next one."

Oh come on, their not even trying to hide it!
Ah, more environmentalist tyranny.
Nine out of ten cameras, that's up there with dentists and cats for ratios!
Yep it's quite great of a start. They need to keep taking them down, make them too annoying to deal with.

MAKE THEM NEED NOTHING LESS THAN A MILITARY ESCORT TO PUT THE CAMERAS UP
Make them post a platoon to protect every one of them!
i want them to fear that they'll be hanging from those same poles if they continue putting them up.
