In Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, red spraypaint was used to cover the lens of a speed camera, according to Riviera 24.

According to Le Pays d'Auge, black was the spraypaint color of choice in Canapville on Wednesday. In Saint-Pourcain-sur-Sioule, a speed camera was set on fire on Wednesday, La Semaine de l'Allier reported. According to Est Republicain, the speed camera on Autoroute 36 in Danjoutin was spraypainted in black last week with a message calling the camera program a "racket."

Vigilantes in Santa Maria di Sala, Italy dumped one of the city's newly installed "Velo OK" brand speed cameras in a drainage ditch on Wednesday, Nuova Venezia reported.
