EDIT: since apparently a bunch of people woke up with the wrong foot this morning or forgot to check the group they’re in:
This is a joke. Do not steal or vandalize speed enforcement cameras (or anything else for that matter). That’s against the law and you will likely get arrested.
If you’re addicted to crack or any other drugs, please seek professional help.
In Finland we steal dynamite from construction sites and do some sudden nightly dismantling. No crackheads needed.
It does amaze me how many people I've met who have a vicious hatred towards speed cameras. Especially interesting where people have so much respect for the police.
What about vodka, is that needed?
Not always needed but always appreciated.
What's the copper to crack exchange rate currently?
5.5lbs of copper is apparently about 20$ worth
What is that? Like 1 crack?
Like 4.
I should make a website that shows crack prices across the usa on a map. I could open it up to submissions and build a dataset of what people charge for crack. Then get a perfect business plan. Corner the crack market. Oh wow I know what im gonna do with the rest of my life!
Crack is cheap unless you are in the nice suburbs. Not much variation in price otherwise.
Your competition would not take kindly to your business. See inner city violence.
But that doesn't mean that you'd get the full $20 if you take it to a scrapyard. Still pretty good though. A relative of mine searches dumpsters for metal stuff and gets good money selling it to scrapyards. They have a job and good money. I think they just do it as a sidehustle and for fun
That doesn't sound quite right, but I'm sure there's some platinum in there to make up for anything short of 5 lbs.
Don't know how there would be that much copper in there.
Perhaps you're not the intended target audience, then.
are you sure? There's only 1 way to find out
Hey it me, ur mayor. I give u permission do it do it
Some of them used to contain bog standard DSLRs, so they were worth stealing.
Gotta enforce speed limits.
And these things don't shoot you if you look at them wrong – or are black.
Edit: "No, you can't just stick a camera worth a couple of thousand [local currency] next to the road, that takes photographic evidence of infractions. You gotta rip out the entire surface, redesign the sides and introduce a few sharp curves by demolishing a few blocks of buildings here and there. In the mean time speed is only enforced by violent cops who feel like you were speeding.
It's the only logical way."
And they fucking work!

I can't believe that people don't want to see them installed in every school zones at least, if there's one place where you don't want people speeding it's there!
"It's a road design issue!" Yeah? What's cheaper and can be done quicker, changing the road design or installing speed cameras?
Where I live they are mostly used in school zones and residential areas, and they only trigger when going 12+ miles over the limit. Seems pretty reasonable.
12 mph over in a school zone is proportionally a fucking lot!
Yeah people not respecting speed zones around schools is a real problem. I can't believe how people drive, and I've always got some Dodge Ram or Ford F150 riding my ass because I'm driving the proper speed.
Even if there was no posted speed limit, there are children everywhere and children are unpredictable.
Rule of thumb: if you feel like you need a huge trophy truck to feel protected on the roads, chances are you drive like an asshole.
And what would it be doing in there?
Every trap needs bait.
Worms for fish. Fish for bears. Copper for meth heads.
Guys, guys. Hear me out. What if (tokes) yeah...what if like if we like yeah. Oh? Sorry. What if we train pigeons to shit on traffic camera lens. It could be done. The military had trained pigeons to guide bombs against warships. Let's train and breed pigeons to do this and release them in the wild.
Birds aren't real
Roughly 2.5 kg.
8.17$ per kg equals 20.43$.
I don't think dubious scrappers taking obviously stolen copper are paying fair market value. You'd have to throw in a vcr or two amd haggle a bit to get enough for a dub.
This one is in a school zone. People really shouldn't be speeding through them unless they're a "fuck them kids" kinda person, and if you are you're a piece of shit.
Even better solution though: (re-) build the street at a school zone so that no driver more sane than the most insane Florida Man would not fathom driving any faster than 20 km/h, no speed cameras required.
let the intrusive thoughts win
Buy chilean copper instead.
What's a "photo enforcement camera"? Speed camera? CCTV? Detects you then just drops on your head?
It's a camera that enforces photos.
Wow, you really do know best!
They take your picture and then you get a mostly automated letter with the picture saying you have to pay a fine, but mostly you can ignore them. I lived near an intersection with one, every time the left turn light turned red (which happened way faster than normal) the picture flash went off for the last three or so people going through the intersection, presumably all of them getting tickets. I assume they are also recording the license plate numbers of everyone going through the intersection regardless of perceived violations.
