Hmm. Interesting question.
As an idea - suggested by my wife incidentally.
Can you show that there has been an increase in accidents at sites where cameras have been removed or put out of action?
Toltec you have to ask Safe Speed, similar groups and their supporters, as aren't their the ones who wants speed cameras removed or destroyed?
Destroyed? Well only in the sense that if they were removed officially they may be disposed of.
There are two ways to challenge a theory, by proof and by disproof. Given you raised the question and are biased towards cameras I am asking you to show evidence to disprove the theory.
Given that -

But I would like to see evidence that is not connected at all to Safe Speed, similar groups or their supporters.
No proof provided from this site would be acceptable to you despite that most data that would be used would come from external sources such as government and camera partnerships. Therefore the logical challenge is for you to provide a disproof of the theory.
If your posts are to be treated with any respect on here you should be prepared to put in some work. If you are simply spouting based on propaganda or your own emotionally biased opinions then do not expect to gain any credibility with me.
As a pointer why not do a search and find some news reports of accidents occurring at disabled camera sites where the accident cause can be linked to excess speed.
Remember disproving a theory is usually much easier than proving it so you are getting the easier option.
