I saw a guy the other day swinging golf clubs at one of these in the same area LOL!!!

This is ridiculous… it’s just another way for the govt. to get more money. I swear I’ve had so many more “near accidents” with these stupid cameras up than without. Spend the money on better borders, imigration, real crimes, etc…

this country is completely loosing it’s freedom now days, it’s getting worse and worse…

You can’t win this folks. No matter how hard you fight you won’t win. Two guys are trying to get an 153 thousand signatures to get the state to raise the trigger limit to 20 mph via popular vote. Fine, the popular vote passes and the limit is raised to 20mph. A week later the state drops the legal speed limit by 10mph. Guess what…. you still lost.

101 heading east towards 17 speed reduces to 55 for no reason other than a speed trap, there is no integrity in that, anybody with half a brain can see the danger in going much slower than the flow of traffic to avoid a fine, the cameras are dangerous as well !

What is disturbing to me is that this man was a substitute teacher at Peoria High School the same day this happened. Thank God he didn’t snap on the kids!

I really hope all these people calling this guy a hero are joking…
Hitting a speeding camera with a pick axe with a DPS officer in the area in the middle of the night…come on! People! If you are afraid of having your picture taken by a speed camera…slow down! Especially around the speed cameras. It’s not like we don’t know where they are. Speeding cameras work. Most people slow down around the areas where the cameras are located. Those that don’t get a letter in the mail. For those that shout that this guy is a “freedom fighter”… Think about this…we paid for those cameras, maintenance and their installation, tax money spent for the good of the public. Mr. Townsend (aka The New Captian America) whacked those cameras with a pick axe. Now more tax money is being spent to repair the damage Travis did. Is he still a hero in your eyes? Furthermore, what freedoms are being taken away from us: Freedom to drive at rediculous speeds, the freedom to put our own and everybody elses lives at risk?

LOL. I think for this guys punishment, he should stand out on the freeway and manually take pictures of speeders with a camera. That’ll teach him…
