I heard about pissed of people in the UK putting a tire over a speed / red light camera post and lighting it on fire. Tires are harder to extinguish than your typical fire and it's usually too late before it can be put out. Eventually it becomes unprofitable for the third party contractor to stay there and they start going away.

You can put a tire over a speed camera without your picture being taken by it and instantly transmitted off-site.
It happens but not that frequently.
