As much I hate speed cameras (and as much as I sympathize with the yellow vests), they are usually more than justified.
As a car driver you experience much less of the negative side-effects of your reckless driving than the rule-abiding drivers, cyclists, pedestrians and people living next to the streets.
Look at speed cameras as police's automation solution for the problem of what to do when road signs aren't working. They are part of an evolution and if evolution has to account for destruction of these cameras then more nuanced models will get their market share (e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Luc-Z29KUfU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Luc-Z29KUfU).
Or we might end up with more Orwellian ways like autonomous traffic drones or the government having a direct link to your car, monitoring your every move, speed etc.
So, yeah, I don't like em but I'm fine with speed cameras.
