Motorists in Australia are unhappy with speed cameras which automatically catch drivers over the limit; citations are mailed to the registered owner. In the past year the cameras brought in A$54,069,259 in fines (about US$39.6 million), leaving drivers so unhappy that over the past two years there have been 74 cases of vandalism against the cameras. The Roads and Traffic Authority has responded by installing surveillance cameras to watch over the most-vandalized speed cameras. Now, angry motorists are smashing the
security cameras before taking out their frustrations on the speed cameras. (Sydney Telegraph)

Isn't (or wasn't) there an organized group in the UK that does that too? Seems to me I remember something on the BBC about a bunch of people in business attire busting up some of the traffic cams there ...

At $39 million in revenue I doubt that they will care about a few cameras being broken. Those are all about generating money and NOT about public safety.
