In the US there have been far more effective ‘protests’ of traffic cameras. In many places, annoyed citizens have used the Law to render traffic cameras so ineffective that they have been removed. In some areas, legal nicities rendered camera-generated tickets unenforcable, and after the citizenry was already angry about the cameras, it was politically impossible to change the laws in question. In others, red-light cameras or camera speed traps were set up in violation of State law about what speed limits are legal and how yellow lights must be timed and/or proper layout of stop-lines. Those areas ended up having to refund (by court order) huge sums of money to drivers ticketed illegally.
I cinsider these actions more effective because they make it far harder to replace the cameras than simple sabotage.
Not that the Yellow-vests are wrong. And in Europe, where governments seem even more lightly constrained by their own laws, that may be the best they can do.
The “protests” you speak of are slow, expensive and not guaranteed to work, and they’ve never shut down even 6% of the cameras in the US, much less 60%.
About a week ago, I stumbled across an amazing video on YouTube– Yuve Yuve Yu by the HU. I found Wolf Totem just after that, but I prefer Yuve Yuve Yu.
But what amazes me is how this keeps happening. I discover some incredible video on YouTube, and then within a few weeks, that video, or something closely related, shows up here on a Sunday. It happened when I discovered Lindsey Stirling, for instance.
I doubt if this really means anything, though, aside from the obvious fact that Maggie has great taste in music.
