Man Flips Out, Destroys Speed Camera In DC (Video)

WASHINGTON, DC -- Not many people like speed cameras. But one man who really, really doesn't like speed cameras turned that feeling into action recently, and police are looking for him.

The Metropolitan Police Department has released video (embedded at the bottom of this post) of a man jumping out of the backseat of a car in the 1500 block of Kenilworth Avenue NE on Feb. 20 at 12:20 a.m. and running full force into the speed camera, knocking it over.

But the man wasn't done yet. With the speed camera lying defeated on the pavement, he delivers a couple kicks to the camera on top of the box to knock it off, picks it up, does something quite vigorously to it with his hands, and then hurls it across the street with all his might.

After that, he gets back into the vehicle, and the driver whisks him away.

Police are offering a reward of up to $1,000 for information leading to an arrest and conviction in this case.

Police say that multiple speed cameras in the District were damaged recently, with at least two cameras on Eastern Avenue knocked over and equipment or wiring ripped out.
