Why not just destroy the photo radar apparatus somehow? Ie give it a few blasts from a 12-gauge, or hit it with a baseball bat a few times, take a gas-powered grinder to the base and drag it home, or open it up and take out the film? :lol:

Because it will take your picture and then the photo cops will come arrest you for distroying property...
I know here in Phx some folks have practiced their target shooting on them. I don't recommend doing this however, just SLOW down when your detector goes off...

Do they have a GPS tracking. I sure could use a radar gun.

Of course I'm not recommending to do this, but...
Use a battery powered drill tool and some foam in spray can ....

Hmmm... imagine we are dealing with one of the filmless digital photoradar devices, and the device in question is being monitored by someone in a CCTV room.
"The hell, what could possibly be driving at 999mph?"
"Must be that Golf??"
"No way..."
A flash, then the monitor switches to snow...

Why not just use an RPG :)
Ohh wait that only works in the middle east.

I think that these photo radar things are just begging for electronic countermeasures. Like a tiny radar "grenade" hidden across the street that triggers the camera every 5 seconds, 24 hours a day. Especially effective on photoradar cameras using film!
Employing such a device in the US might get you fined and thrown in prison, of course. Or would it? I guess it depends on your definition of "jamming." So probably hazardous to one's freedom.

Yes actually it's very illegal, a federal offense if I'm not mistaken.

Might not be so good, you'd have all these poor people getting tickets that really don't deserve it...
RPG works for me but the grenades themselves are very costly - don't ask how I know :wink:

This is probably the most effective way without getting in trouble easily (unless a passer by reports you!).

Funny story, someone actually did take a shotgun and shotout the camera. It was the older style, the kind that comes in that huge rectangle box.

Shotgun: destructive, dangerous, not very creative
Covering camera with a dark trash bag, and a note expounding upon your thoughts regarding this use of public funds: good fun
somebody was telling me a story about some hard case dude who nicked the number plates off a van that was running a speed camera out the back of it while it was parked up. He then exchanged the plates on his car with the cops vans plate and then you guess it!
Makes me smile :lol: Finger and all!

Yeah but it isn't as "permanent". I like the idea of taking the box home though. Have a nice radar setup to play with... if I ever find one of those portable tripod speedcameras on the side of the road like they have in Europe, I'm putting it in the trunk for sure... I could take pictures of it and then send it to the local gendarmes... maybe duct tape the legs together or something? :lol: I just hope I don't get a picture of handcuffs in return. :lol:
only in Australia lol!
If you like radar detectors Australia is not a good place to be seen them in action myself. Visted a friend in Brisbane last year just out of the airport in his new BMW i just said to him he needs a detector he replyed not aloud them here. Then some cop with a 4 hundred year old radar hanging of his back side window busted him for speeding 73 in a 60k/m zone :( . $260 and 2 points. think they only get 8 :? You guessed it after staying bugger i said "told you so dude"

Thats why you have to seek up behind it. :lol: But I think its just better to slow down. Or not take that route.

When I was in Australia last summer I talked with some of the locals about Radar Detectors and they said the fine for running one was over $3000. YIKES!
Ausse you can get anything and i mean anything. The cops are as twisted as a cork srews but when it comes to detectors your a very very bad person if they bust you not only a fine but then the cop takes the detector home and puts it in his own car!! :lol:

haha yeah that was me that posted that....
I always keep a can of Black spraypaint in my car ;)
Somtimes I take my plate off the bike and wheelstand past the camera speeding.....im sure i will find it on the internet one day ;) I have a photo of one of the radar vans...I can blow up the photo and print the numberplate out and attach it to my car...that would be good

In a recent attack... every camera in one U.K. county was destroyed.
How about death by towed plow, shotgun, burning tire, or acid! (http://www.insightmag.com/main.cfm/include/detail/storyid/253617.html)
And to add apocrypha to anecdote, I remember reading in Car & Driver back in the 1980s that photo-radar in Texas had to be abandoned when it first came out in the 1970s because, yes, people were blowing them away with shotguns. Not too hard to believe; even in the less urban ends of NJ, road signs are often pockmarked with lead.
