I could never do such a dastardly deed as to destroy one of these valuable camera. (They're up too high for me to reach.) Seriously, even out here in the dingleberries where I live, they put them at our only intersection with a traffic signal. The funny part is, One faces each direction, and the devices look like birds at first glance. Pretty sneaky birds, if you ask me. About the time our local boys start getting tickets in the mail, those birds won't be laying any more eggs.

Are you a Brit? If so, do you have any idea where I can find a copy of the 1981 made-for-TV movie, "Day of the Triffids"??

There's an expired EBay auction in which somebody was offering this. It didn't sell, so perhaps you could email him and ask about it.

"Brits do not like to be watched by a Big Brother?"

Today's Brits understand that their grandparents didn't fight, kill, and die in WWII only 50 years ago so that their grandchildren would live in an Orwellian police state even Hitler and Himmler couldn't have dreamed of!

That's why today's Brits - even though generally lacking guns (so far) to attack the spy cameras and traffic cameras at their weakest point (big ground-level control box) - are now in a fightback mode, and why they are fighting back so effectively that they have the initiative and the enemy cannot keep pace with them!

"Those were the days!"

The Brits didn't start attacking traffic cameras in large numbers until several years after Britain became an Orwellian police state infested with huge numbers of streetside spy cameras and traffic cameras.

So it's not an issue of "manhood." Instead, after the London Telegraph reported that the first mere fistful of traffic cameras had been destroyed with impunity by people just lassoing the camera head with a rope tied to a car bumper, it unleashed a tidal wave of popular rage among typical Brits who knew that their grandpas didn't risk death to give them life in what amounted to a giant prison camp that Himmler couldn't have dreamed up.

"That's it... I'm buying 1984 and "brave new world""

Buy Unintended Consequences instead!!!

It's a long, thinly-veiled "novel" that has Washington's elites scared out of their mind - because it's a very-realistic guide to how "leaderless resistance" in the heartland - provoked by Washington finally providing the last straw - would end in a low-tech conflict Washington couldn't win against socially-conservative irregulars not in touch with one another.

It's consistently been around top 5,000 of Amazon.com's over-1,000,000 titles for years - despite no promotion and being published by a tiny publisher.

"Now they'll put cameras on the cameras"

With 1 street spy camera per 25 Brits, that long ago effectively happened. However, serious crime has steadily climbed as the spy camera network increased there - and headline crimes there recently often include reports that no spy camera saw anything!

So many spy cameras - with a higher ratio in urban areas - mean invariably that no place in urban areas isn't (theoretically) viewed. However, spy cameras work poorly at night - when the attacks on cameras are happening. They work even less well on foggy nights - as they are "in the clouds."

Britain's elites are losing the war on their own people that they started - as they are unable to keep pace with the destruction of the traffic cameras and spy cameras!

Police are taking advantage of a new government scheme which allows them to keep part of the fines obtained from motorists caught going over the speed limit by cameras.

Also known as "public corruption".

"cool! thanks for the recommendation!"

Unintended Consequences is truly one of those extremely-rare books, fiction or nonfiction, that you'll find yourself reading and rereading over and over - and getting new ideas from each time. It is a definite must-have, must-study item for every dissident - and Washington fears it far more than all those "how to make your AK-47 go full-auto books," which is why BATF tried (unsuccessfully) to hassle its author.
