There has been a pattern in the UK of destroying speed cameras for the same reasons - including in some cases throwing an old car tire around the pole and setting it on fire.

Seems to be getting more popular [https://www.standard.co.uk/news/crime/antiulez-campaigners-v...].

Those are not "speed" cameras, they're to enforce daily payment (or fines) for driving in "Ultra Low Emissions Zone" areas in non-compliant vehicles. The area covers all 32 London Boroughs, around 1,500 km² (580 square miles), - affecting approximately 9 Million people.

Destroying speed cameras, especially the tire method, in the UK far predates ULEZ.
