Break out some shotguns and go to town. Then start recalling some POS politicians!

An old tire, a quart of diesel, and a match.

A delegation just needs to go around town with a pellet gun, shooting out the camera lenses.

Seems to be just the latest example of local political bureaucrat types trying to usurp the will of local citizen voters. It’s also called being an arrogant politician who thinks voters don’t know what is good for them.

.22 subsonic. Quieter than an air gun in most situations.

Looks like that needs a 20-gauge shotgun slug shot through it...

Nothing need be done.
The camera company gets paid when a fine is collected. After the first defendant declares the cameras to be illegal and the fines are the fruit of the poisoned tree, the fine will not be payable and the company will not get paid.
Once the people quit paying the company will leave.

70 cameras!
70 rounds of buckshot can fix the problem permanently.

Watch the language here, bud. This isn't DU
Second, It's not the voters' fault. This contract was entered into without their approval, nor knowledge that it would be entered into. This was deceit by those in government. You cannot have due diligence when they do things like that.
Once the voters did know what was going on, they voted the cameras down. They did their part. Now it's time to break the contract that should not have been entered into without the voters' consent.

Instruct the police officers to not defend the tickets in court anymore.
This is a Bullstalin response. Then again Houston is police-state friendly. The chief of police issued a curfew on the citizens (extended beyond Mayor Bill White’s initial curfew) after Hurricane Ike even though he did not have the power to do so.

What do you think the consequences will be if the government sets a precedent of breaking contracts without compensation? Bill White already did this when he cancelled the lease contracts on those who had booked the George R. Brown which he turned into lodging for Katrinicans. He said "I dare anyone to sue the city".

The deadly combination of “corrupt” and “stupid” continues at Houston City Hall.

Its also called being an arrogant politician who thinks voters dont know what is good for them. The city fought the measure even being put to a public vote. Then they ran ads with bogus safety statistics.
Now they drag their heels.
City of Houston does not give a corrupt DemocRats donkey-ass what the public thinks. They also ran some ballot measure to compete with some other measure a few years back and Bill White claimed his measure superseded the public's measure.
