    Vandals damage nearly one dozen District speed cameras

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/local...=.50a41982c14b

    By Peter Hermann February 20 at 4:32 PM

    D.C. police are searching for a vandal or vandals who broke 11 speed cameras in various parts of the District, most in Northeast Washington, according to the department.

    Police said the discoveries were made between 2:30 and 3:30 a.m. on Tuesday.

    At one location along Kenilworth Avenue, near the Anacostia Freeway, a police report says an officer saw two cameras “that had been pushed over and the camera had been ripped off the wiring and from where it was mounted.”

    The report says one of the cameras was stationed near the freeway and that “the wiring was ripped completely out and no camera was located.”

    Police said in a statement that at least one person is being sought in the offenses, classified as destruction of property. “Investigators have since determined the damage was due to vandalism,” the statement says. A total damage estimate had not been completed on Tuesday.

    The location of the damaged cameras are all in the 5th and 6th police districts, and including along DC. 295 near Eastern Avenue, Ridge Road in Southeast; Pennsylvania Avenue in Southeast; Fort Lincoln Drive in Northeast; Kenilworth Avenue in Northeast; and South Dakota Avenue in Northeast.

    Speed cameras are located at or planned for more than 300 locations in the District. The District also has separate cameras to monitor red lights at many intersections.

    Must be a hangover from the government shutdown.

    They'll fill that comment section with trollery. Just give them a minute. Government may take until after the emergency is long over to get their act together and move in, but by God they'll take complete ownership of the scene of the crime--just as soon as it's safe for them to.

    I’m sorry there is no hope.... Watching Fox now and Ben Swan (edited to correct name to Ben Stein)is on (he’s a pro gun guy you know, loves gun stores) pontificating how no one needs a AR15 or similar style “military” weapon for self defense or otherwise. Cavoto is salivating listening. And quote “this could be the beginning”.

    Back to topic, good for the people taking a position on speed cameras but sorry, there is no hope....

    I see this mostly happening in Europe, but do see an encouraging US story every once in awhile. A publication called https://www.thenewspaper.com collects the stories. These are incidents from January & February 2018 (so far):

    The person or persons in D.C. did it right. Confiscation is good for the geese, so it's clearly good for the ganders too. Besides, the person or persons was most likely (a) taxpayer(s). So, he/she/they paid for those cameras, and might as well get some good out of them.

    Spray paint and fires just cause unnecessary pollution.

    You mean Ben Stein?

    There's a pretty big difference between Ben Stein and Ben Swann.

    Goddamned anarchists.
    It's all about taking action and not being lazy. So you do the work, whether it's fitness or whatever. It's about getting up, motivating yourself and just doing it.
