EDIT: since apparently a bunch of people woke up with the wrong foot this morning or forgot to check the group they’re in:

This is a joke. Do not steal or vandalize speed enforcement cameras (or anything else for that matter). That’s against the law and you will likely get arrested.

If you’re addicted to crack or any other drugs, please seek professional help.

Gotta enforce speed limits.

And these things don't shoot you if you look at them wrong – or are black.

Edit: "No, you can't just stick a camera worth a couple of thousand [local currency] next to the road, that takes photographic evidence of infractions. You gotta rip out the entire surface, redesign the sides and introduce a few sharp curves by demolishing a few blocks of buildings here and there. In the mean time speed is only enforced by violent cops who feel like you were speeding.

It's the only logical way."

I can't believe that people don't want to see them installed in every school zones at least, if there's one place where you don't want people speeding it's there!

"It's a road design issue!" Yeah? What's cheaper and can be done quicker, changing the road design or installing speed cameras?

Where I live they are mostly used in school zones and residential areas, and they only trigger when going 12+ miles over the limit. Seems pretty reasonable.

12 mph over in a school zone is proportionally a fucking lot!
