I don't know how it is up there, but down here in the states those traffic cams are pretty much all run by private for profit companies who take like 99% of the fines for themselves.

So I've got no problem with folks destroying them.

Yea we've avoided the mass privatization of speed cameras so far and the vast majority of the fines goes into the city municipal budget, where it can be spent pretty much anywhere but often is spent on the roads themselves.

Our cameras directly benefit the community, so people who destroy them here are criminals with no redeeming justification.
