Vigilantes in the Brittany region of France claimed credit for destroying six speed cameras last week. According to Ouest-France, a group calling itself "Argad, the Breton resistance" issued a statement saying it had eliminated automated ticketing machines in Baud, Pontivy and Vannes as a protest against the "application of illegal taxes by the French state on the Breton nation."

A photo enforcement company in Guadalajara, Mexico this week declined to press charges against two young men accused of destroying a pair of speed cameras, DK 1250AM radio reported. Jaime Ordiales Martinez and Gonzalo Alcocer Fregoso were released after promising to repay the 700,000 peso (US $53,000) in damages.
