Maybe it's not as bad as I thought.

Via Mike V, this post about the Gatso's in the UK:

Speed cameras often become victims of vandalism from disapproving motorists who see them as government money making schemes. Vandalism includes ramming with vehicles, or more commonly burning with petrol filled rubber tyres. There have been dozens of documented cases of speed cameras being disabled across the UK. -- Wikipedia

Here's the site that documents the 'vandalism'.

Maybe all the Brits need is a couple of more pushes and they'll get back on track.
