    Even today, they just don’t give a fuck about rules.

    In Southern France there are speed cameras being set up everywhere, and they’ll catch you for being even a few km’s over. The locals (mostly rural) have responded by either torching them, encasing them in hay bales, painting over them, or chopping them down. The police keep putting them up, alongside cameras to watch the cameras, and the locals keep destroying them overnight.

      Also true in the west, where I am, so I presume the same all over France.

      Fortunately my area doesn’t allow this nonsense, but I’d totally be down for some infrastructure vandalism if they ever try.
