They musn't care around my area, the red light camera on the corner of Highbury rd. and Huntingdale rd. has been stuffed for at least a year. Looks like someone half managed to knock it off the top of it's pole.

By the way, kudos to whoever pointed the speed sensor next to the camera on springvale/high street up into the sky. Had a good laugh at that one, they just haven't mounted it high enough. Anyone over 6ft could reach it.

That’s actually the flash unit. The speed sensors are inductive loops in the bitumen.

Cheers

They basically hang a tyre over it and fill the bottom of it with petrol.

There was a camera at a particular spot on the Pacific highway that was photographing lots of truckies, so they organised it to stop every now and again just past it then back up so the tray hit the post and bent it over so the camera pointed to the ground. They kept doing it until it wasn't replaced.
