Toronto’s most frequently targeted automated speed-enforcement device was cut down again overnight, marking the sixth act of vandalism against the Parkside Drive camera in nine months. The attack occurred despite a surveillance camera that city officials installed last week at the request of Toronto police, who say they will review the new footage but have yet to file a formal report. The photo-radar unit, which monitors a 40-km/h stretch bordering High Park, has proved both prolific and controversial. Since its installation following a 2021 crash that killed two seniors, it has issued more than 67,000 speeding tickets and generated roughly C$7 million in fines. Community group Safe Parkside says the repeated destruction leaves residents without a critical safety measure on a corridor long flagged for dangerous driving. City rules require damaged speed cameras to be replaced within 30 days. Police have previously indicated that those responsible could face charges of mischief over C$5,000. The latest incident adds to a string of similar attacks on automated enforcement devices across Toronto, underscoring the challenges authorities face in maintaining the technology’s deterrent effect.
