How To Kill a ... Speed Camera?

They are the hatred of thousands of commuters, and although they are there for our safety to keep other drivers in check, speed cameras have become the recent target of angry motorists recently with record numbers of them being attacked.

I am in no way condoning these actions as they are highly illegal and could put you in jail, what dose interest me however is how these hot heads do it.

I have come across stories of people using brute force such as sledgehammers, fireworks and their vehicles themselves. These incidents can be put down to your average person of average intelligence, however some more intellectual (and I use this word loosely) have taken more... thoughtful approaches.

Using spray-paint to cover the cameras lenses, spraying adhesive over the over plate to blur the image, one man in America reportedly placed an industrial strength magnet on the side of the speed camera in a bid to scramble its electronics, and my personal favourite, wrapping the cameras in two inches (a tad of overkill) worth of cling film to sufficiently block and notable number plate images.

So the commuters worst enemy besides from the 8.30am traffic jam is certainly the subject of many beatings and 'blurrings'.
