Selfish behaviour, wasting public money because they don’t like a scheme created to improve the health of normal Londoners.
I hope they’ll just be repaired, I’d imagine people won’t keep doing it for that long, only at the moment because it’s new. Eventually they’ll become used to it.
Why do you want surveillance cameras?

Imagine the backlash and congestion if they did that.

Why do you support people spewing PM2.5 particulates?
The UK has one of the highest numbers of surveillance cameras per person, this is just a fact of life that people are used to. The ULEZ cameras are typically ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition), the government already know what cars you own and how polluting they are. You can’t deny that these low emission zones are decreasing air pollution and London needs it. The attacks on the cameras are because they are adding surveillance but because it is £12.50p per day if your car does not meet standards so is an added “tax” for living in London which is being forced on the local councils with little thought for the individual circumstance.
There is a Channel 4 show a while ago called Hunted which mimics the levels of surveillance the police have to track contestants down, it is both scary and interesting how much they can work out and track down.

True, tax is probably not the best word hence the “”, fine is better, or just charge.
So you want to get people become used to surveillance? Keep in mind that 1984 was a warning, not a handbook.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
More than 300 cameras installed for London’s Ultra Low Emission Zone (Ulez) were vandalised or stolen between April and August, the BBC can reveal.
TfL is planning to install a total of 2,750 cameras before the expansion comes into force at the end of August.
Abbie Mires, who works in the area, said the “harsh action” of targeting Ulez cameras was justified.
Husband and wife, Roy and Linda McKensie had to get rid of two cars ahead of the Ulez expansion, but said they did not agree with cameras being tampered with.
The only figure the BBC has seen was an estimate cost of the planned expansion from November 2022, which was about £159.5m based on assumptions at that time.
This includes spend for systems design, development and testing; on-street infrastructure design, procurement and delivery including camera installation and signage; marketing and media campaign; and legal and consultation costs.
I’m a bot and I’m open source!
This is literally the only crime London prosecutors will go after LOL

Good, I hope they keep getting destroyed. The government should not be spying on their own citizens
ULEZ is about health. If the fumes from the car is so healthy, please show me the data that supports that.
The idiots destroying this cameras will be paying more in council tax to replace them. That really sounds like an intelligent approach.
If it was about health, Sadiq Khan would be doing something about the terrible pollution in the underground. But that pollution isn’t from cars, so he doesn’t care.
The pandemic did provide Transport for London (TfL), who manage the Underground, the opportunity to make some improvements. Ventilation systems were assessed and according to the Mayor’s Transport Strategy Update in 2021 “the London Underground ventilation infrastructure is typically designed in excess of statutory minimum requirements with an adequate provision of fresh air.”
You don’t fix a problem with constant whataboutisms, and certainly not with whataboutisms with no credibility.

You don’t. Civil disobedience is fine for Extinction Rebellion and Just Stop Oil, but not for this?
Keep pumping particulates into your children’s lungs
