British Camera's

I read this pretty amusing post on the NY Times about the camera's that the UK puts on its streets to catch speeders. It sounds like a pretty good idea but the people in the UK don't like it all that much. They described some pretty funny things that people were doing to the cameras such as setting them on fire, smashing them to bits, SHOOTING them, or using home made explosives to blow them up. Supposedly, a lot of people don't like the cameras because it forces them to slow down or else you get a ticket in the mail. I personally like speeding on the highways so I could be one of those disgruntled people knocking it over with a bat or something if they tried that here in the US. But at least it brightened up my Friday reading about that... LOL!
