The Deets
Okay, so listen up. This speed camera on Parkside Drive in Toronto is having a major identity crisis. It keeps getting knocked over – like, this is the FIFTH time in six months! 💀 One week prior to the latest toppling, the camera was installed back into place.
There have been 325 vandalism reports involving Automated Speed Enforcement (ASE) cameras in Toronto in 2025, which is kinda sus. This Parkside Drive cam is taking the L a lot. A resident from Safe Parkside is not feeling it. He's basically saying the city isn't doing enough to stop people from speeding and the street design is low-key part of the problem.
He's also like, "This camera ain't even doing anything! People just slow down when they see it and then zoom zoom again." 👀 He and others have been asking the city to change up the street design to make it safer, but so far, not much has changed. The city is thinking of turning more ASE cameras to permanent pole-mounted cameras.
The city spokesperson is throwing shade at the vandals, saying this is messing with everyone's safety. Plus, whoever's doing this could get hit with charges, like mischief over $5,000. And the city's gotta replace the cameras within 30 days. Sheesh!
