Americans tend to vandalize speed cameras. As long as repairing/replacing the cameras costs more than the revenue they generate from tickets, they’re not worth deploying.
- kelsolaar 6y agoSame happens in France and they are still around :)
- Doxin 6y agoSame happens in the netherlands. A favorite method here is to fill the camera with expanding foam which basically makes the camera take part in a slow-motion explosion. Another (less damaging) method I've seen is simply wrapping the camera in cling wrap, making the image terribly fuzzy but not destroying anything in the process. AFAIK over here speed cameras are only allowed to be placed if they demonstratively improve traffic safety, so we don't have a crazy amount of them. Of course the best way to beat a speed camera is to not speed ;-)
