Is it missing there or just disabled by wire cutters?

It says relocated, which must be an euphemism for stolen.

Theft of LULZ cameras should be mandated.

I’m just saying if that’s a relocated camera in the pic it looks like it hasn’t actually been relocated

🤣😂😛

Ulez cameras being stolen across the capital following protests

Protests against the expansion of the Ulez in outer London have resulted in a number of enforcement cameras being stolen, it can be revealed.

Transport for London had already seen dozens of numberplate-reading cameras vandalised or covered up by people opposed to Mayor Sadiq Khan’s widening of the clean air zone to the Greater London boundary.

Now it has emerged that some protesters have climbed traffic signals to remove the cameras, which will be used to fine drivers of non-compliant vehicles £180 if they fail to pay the £12.50 daily Ulez levy.

It is thought opponents are using a Facebook group to share locations of the cameras, which TfL has refused to make public. More than 50 cameras are believed to have been damaged or removed.

This is the kind of direct action I like!

I believe that wording is known as British understatement.

I liked it more when speeding cameras got necktied with a tire filled with gas. Not entirely carbon neutral, ha ha.

It’s traditional. 25 years ago the Brits did the same thing to automated speed cameras.

If Londoners really want to fix the problem, they should secure their elections.

I don’t think they voted for this, either.

Stiff penalties driving reighteous vandalism. Pissed-off people gigged by the cameras know it’s a big cash grab to fill leaky coffers with the thin veneer of “saving the earth.”

Perhaps the "villains" removed the camera and left the case?
