| Australia - Speed Camera Operator Attacked
 A speed camera operator was attacked in Perth, Western Australia yesterday.
The 53-year-old female was operating the speed camera when a 39-year-old male approached her complaining that he had been photographed. He then proceeded to attack her.
Police later located the assailant and he was apprehended after a chase which culminated in his ramming a police vehicle.
This is another worrying case where a motorist has chose to vent his anger on a camera operator, last week you may recall an Arizona camera operator was shot dead by a passing motorist.
Whilst a growing number of us are becoming ever more concerned by the plague of cameras we need to remember that camera operators and even camera partnerships are not the villains here, it is the Government that shoulders full blame. Cameras are positive revenue earners and far cheaper than trained Police officers.
Perhaps we should stop accepting these without comment and instead protest via our MP's. We're great at complaining to each other but very poor at targetting our anger at those who can change the status quo.
