Vandals spray paint over lenses of three speed cameras

[jim49er]

Montgomery County police say they are looking for whoever spray painted over the lenses of three speed cameras.

The cameras are all located on Quince Orchard Road between Route 28 and Great Seneca Highway.

Police also say religious slurs were painted on the cameras and on a sign that warns drivers of the cameras.

As a result, the cameras are not working right now and not expected to be fixed until later this morning.

Those weren't religious slurs against Jewish people, those are anti-government slurs my friend.. When you put a Nazi symbol on government property, the message isn't that Jewish people should be particularly weary of government, it means the government is acting fascist.

Wow, when you sever the money stealing pipeline, look how fast government moves to fix their "Slot Machines"... try getting that response time for a pothole, traffic light, or refund check from .gov.

They are using the religious slurs thing so that if they get these people hate crime case can be used.

[Kotin]

Vandals? I think not.


Upstanding citizens, more like it.

The day that somebody figures out how to replace the images on one of those machines with gay porn - is the day that I learn to laugh again.

Those young gentlemen were not vandals... simply doing their civic duty.

Paint makes a visible statement,, but I would prefer a more permanent statement.

That looks like the appropriate adjustment tool for the job.

You gonna shimmy up a 30-foot lightpole with that bad boy and then, once you're up there, somehow have the leverage to swing it around without falling to the ground?

If the cops saw somebody who could do that, they would probably back off and leave them alone.

I always thought paintball guns were practically made for speed/red light cameras. Not restricted, not too loud, easily concealable, won't cause expensive destruction and disables the camera.

Slingshot with steel BBs would do the trick with even lower tech.

Maybe those chincey blowguns serve a purpose afterall?

What's a baseball weigh? 4oz? Perhaps a water ballon filled with paint would be the most descrete and low tech, but you might need a good arm.

Molotov cocktail would be flashier, but potentially hazardous.

Hmmm...decisions, decisions

There is so much freedom in this thread. Lovin it!
