The dude got arrested once before this for using a painter’s extension rod to point the stoplight cameras into the sky instead of cutting the wires. He didn’t cut the wires until AFTER he got out after being arrested the first time–which he did after posting facebook videos that prove that the stoplights are intentionally rigged to trick drivers into citations–the yellow lights at intersections with cameras only last THREE SECONDS, as opposed to the five seconds they last at other stoplights without cameras in the same county.

When he cut the camera cords, he reported his deeds to the news -himself,- and then politicians pressured the local police force into arresting him. The local police and sheriff deputies actually SUPPORT him for his actions because the lights have been killing innocent people! During his most recent arrest, one of the Sheriff’s Deputies actually -offered to bail him out-. When he got home again after these incidents, there was a surveillance camera planted at his house BY THE GOVERNMENT to watch him! His reaction to being surveilled? He painted over the camera in America’s flat out fucking ballsiest “fuck you” to the gubmint I’ve ever heard of. And it gets EVEN CRAZIER. After painting over the camera, suddenly this guy–his name is Stephen Ruth by the way–started GETTING ATTEMPTS ON HIS LIFE. He reports that a car intentionally tried to hit him in a head-on collision, and after talking about the car to his neighbors, they confirmed that the car in question (Or at least, one that was visibly identical, its occupants included) had been staking out his house! Somebody was legitimately trying to MURDER HIM over his discovery and his actions!

Can further add that most of the revenue generated from these tickets usually goes to the camera companies themselves - contrary to popular belief that it’s a revenue generating scheme for PD or the govt in general (who do get a cut but not usually as much as you’d think). But the camera companies donate handsomely to political campaigns so politicians are inclined to believe their claims of improving safety and don’t usually look all that closely at what’s really happening.

I will also add that even if the camera contracts have been canceled, unless they are physically removed, the cameras are still operational and are collecting data… which the camera companies sell without your consent and usually without the knowledge of any elected officials (may or may not be in the contracts but if it is, it’s buried in the fine print and politicians sure ain’t reading all that).
