Speed camera update (Sept.11)
- Thread starter TK4
- Start date
If cops wanted to enforce speeding, now's the time. Most people know the camera is down and speeds will probably be up. No cops means they really don't care about the speeding and it is pure revenue generation.

Maybe the people vandalizing them are the same persons who are responsible for replacing and servicing them?
iirc most of the contracts state the business pay the cost of replacement, not the taxpayer.

I don't believe that. That is just the way they word it. Someone is paying.

One near my house is spray painted every time i drive by it! Last week someone parked a car infront of it all day!
that's what im saying, the business they 'lease?' the cameras from are paying. I'm sure they pad the lease agreement to offset the cost, so technically we probably paid in advance.
Not all heroes wear capes.
Where?
I wasn't aware we had one.

You must not live where I live because we have several.
I know you have at least one also drive by it several times. At the top of the mountain.
Haven't spotted any in my area.
Parkside is back up along with a security camera to watch over it. It was nice of them to publicize this and show where the surveillance camera is located. If you're happy to cut down one camera, you're probably happy to cut down two. Hopefully they aren't that dumb and that's a decoy with another camera hidden.

Kinda surprised they mentioned the other camera, but that one would take some more effort considering the height it is placed.Parkside is back up along with a security camera to watch over it.

A little but probably not too hard. Throw a rope over, choke the arm and pull hard. It's a couple steel straps designed to hold a camera up. I don't give them much of a chance. Breaking that camera starts the clock though. I would hope that there is an alarm at the command centre when the signal is lost.
These law enforcement people have a hard time catching any type of criminal. but hey this is something they can really dig their chops into.Parkside is back up along with a security camera to watch over it.

Well to be fair, this is happening consistently at 1 location. It's kinda easy for them to dig in.
exactly my point. but will they?
And it's down again. It lasted a week before it was destroyed.Parkside is back up along with a security camera to watch over it.

Over 67,000 tickets totaling $7M from that camera so far. No changes to road design yet although they have talked about it. Yup, all about safety, not at all about fundraising. /all of the sarcasm in the world

EDIT:
Security camera is still up. They completely stole the speed camera this time. They dragged it to a waiting vehicle and left with it.
