Decommissioned cash machines

A505 Duxford to Royston, some kind person appears to have cut the camera off the post! As this camera is on a straight piece of road, and the cash machine is AFTER a junction this was bound to happen. And then only 3 miles away, A10 Royston to Cambridge, near Melbourne, another camera appeared to have been involved in a barbecue. Whoever these vigilantes are I will certainly be turning a blind eye to them!
Well done the opposition.
Well done the opposition.
The Cambridge on-line news reports on more camera vandalism:

Even more amusing is Cambridge News' government-appeasing, pious editorial supporting the use of speed cameras:
"'NEWS' OPINION: The blowtorch attack on a speed camera near Fowlmere is amazing.
In all likelihood, it was done by a disgruntled driver furious at being snapped travelling too fast.
While the damage cannot be condoned, the vandalism does at least prove one thing - that roadside cameras are doing their job and getting under the skin of those who break the law.
The prospect of being caught on film, and a fine and points on their licence, is an excellent deterrent to speeders.
As more cameras appear in the region, there will no doubt be a surge in interest in other methods of control too.
Although residents at Fowlmere were split on using radar guns there, people at Guilden Morden are now keen to give them a try.
It is all part of the campaign to make speeding as socially abhorrent as drink driving - a campaign we must support."
Speeding as socially abhorrent as drink driving? A campaign we must support? F*ck off!
