    Post Speed Cameras Disabled in Arizona, France Arizona freeway camera vans receive Post-It

    Speed Cameras Disabled in Arizona, France
    Arizona freeway camera vans receive Post-It Note treatment while French cameras are burned and painted black.

    Vigilantes in Arizona have declared their independence from speed cameras. Over the past two weeks, Post-It Notes have been placed on mobile speed camera vans operated on Phoenix-area freeways by Redflex Traffic Systems, an Australian company. As a result of the notes, photographs taken by the unmanned Ford SUVs are unusable for ticketing purposes.

    The Post-It Notes leave no permanent damage, but they have been a favorite of the state's vigilantes as they reference a July 2008 incident that angered Governor Jan Brewer (R) while she served as secretary of state. In the course of an investigation, a Redflex employee "wrote a short response to the complaint on a post it note," making light of an official state inquiry into the company's falsification of legal documents (view Brewer response).

    Vigilantes in France had more permanent damage in mind last Tuesday. A speed camera on the CD 437 at Maisons-du-Bois-Lievremont was completely destroyed by fire. A second camera on the RN 57 near Vuillecin was covered in black paint, according to France 3-TV.

    I'm sorry for being slow on the uptake, but would somebody explain what all this means? How do these "vigilantes" walk up to the photo radar vans and stick Post-It notes on them without the van driver/radar operator seeing them? Where on the van do they place the Post-Its which renders the photographs unusable? Over the camera lens? How does the operator of the equipment fail to notice that the lens is covered?

    These vans are un-manned. The cameras in France are boxes on poles.

    Really? So where does the driver go after he parks the van? Does Enterprise come by and pick him up?
