Because it is so much more fun, and effective, to just destroy these automated tax collectors:

Another method, which I am surprised is not more popular here in the US, is simply to shoot them with a rifle or shotgun.

HAHAHA! I used to love those tires burning the cameras.

When I lived in Seattle, they started putting these up and I looked them over carefully. My take was that if a guy was of a mind to, all he would have to do is use a bicycle to get to the camera, bring an 8 lb maul and a rope. And Groucho glasses and maybe a baseball hat with the attached dreadlocks and a pillow in their shirt for a “fake tummy”.

Then, you throw the end of the rope over the top, use the wedge to put a good crimp in the hollow aluminum stand, and use the rope to pull it down in the direction of the crimp. Seems pretty easy.

You would have to leave the tools there, though.

"If you are going to do something like that you need to pre-prepare for a place to get rid of the body and evidence (blood)."

Pressurized paint is not a shotgun. Kudos to the landowner for innovation. Even a paintball GUN "should" be perfectly OK.

I’ve always wondered why people don’t use paintball guns against red light cameras.

I'd like to see the police use paintball guns against antifa, et al and arrest anyone wearing paint.

During the post-war Communist riots in Italy, the police used dyed water in their water cannons, then picked up anyone who was stained.
