Somehow, between hiding Easter eggs and filling baskets with candy, the Easter Bunny found time to give a photo-enforcement camera in Tempe an oval-shaped “up yours!” And an anti-speed-camera group predicts such civil disobedience will happen “more and more” until the cameras are gone.
As you read yesterday in our Feathered Bastard blog, a man in a bunny suit took what appears to be an Easter egg made of cardboard — complete with decorative dollar signs — and placed it over a photo-enforcement camera near University and Rural in Tempe, covering the camera’s lens and rendering it useless.
Thankfully, there was someone there to videotape the stunt yesterday. Check it out below.
CameraFRAUD spokesman Shawn Dow tells New Times that while his group is not officially taking responsibility for the prank, people should expect to start seeing these types of things more frequently.”Since the Legislature failed to act, there will be more and more stunts like this,” Dow says.Dow says that while the Easter Bunny gag was humorous, the goal of his organization is to get signatures on a petition against photo enforcement, not run around pulling pranks.
