I was reading on a motorcycle club website the alarming news that mindless vandals have been attacking GATSO fixed cameras using TETRASYL car body undersealant. Apparently this bonds to the glass and is impossible to remove. I hope the authorities are successful in their efforts to apprehend the perpetrators.

TETRASYL is available from Halfords.

Sounds nasty. Hope the police catch the perpetrators soon. In the meantime, I think I'll go out and buy a case of this stuff, in order to help clear the shelves so it can't get into the hands of these naughty people.

I for one will certainly assist in getting this stuff off the streets. That's the only reason that I have just bought so much of it. No, really - it is.

Hmmmmm.
One wonders if the stuff comes out of the nozzle fast enough to trigger the gatso to take a photo of it coming towards the lens, complete with perpetrator in the background?
Now.....where did I put that black ski mask?

That's criminal damage though if you get caught.

Putting a bin liner over them is not...........

Question

What about putting 6 petrol-doused tyres over them, and flicking your still-lit *** butt in their general direction?

How irresponsible, with no safety enforcement cameras there'll be carnage on the roads

Although strangely, after my local GATSO got the burning tyre necklace treatment, there haven't been any accidents near it (i.e. exactly the same number of accidents there were before it except for one fatal crash involving a drunk driver)

How terrible. Is this stuff available easily over the counter?? Perhaps if the retailers knew of the deadly potential of this stuff, they may donate some for free, provided you promised you would use it for a good cause. perhaps we should all carry some with us, just in case we get stuck on an empty road somewhere some night, and get attacked, and have to defend ourselves. Although prevention is much better than revenge.
