ffs, it's always the same clowns in their beat-up Commodores thinking they're in Fast & Furious. Get a life ya muppets.

Blake Turner2026-07-15T05:30:46.000Z

cameras won't do anything unless council actually prosecutes the little shits. slap a $500 fine and watch em vanish

RNZ2026-07-15T05:52:46.000Z

yeah nah they'll just duck tape the plates or steal a car. had the same in Napier

Sage Lawson2026-07-15T05:53:46.000Z

Why don't they just put some big rocks or bollards around the edge? Cheaper than cameras and actually stops the cars. Common sense really 🙄

Quinn Murphy2026-07-15T06:30:46.000Z

exactly. put some nice big boulders in the way. job done

Sage Lawson2026-07-15T06:43:46.000Z

id love to see them try driving over a couple of concrete barriers lol

Morgan Lee2026-07-15T06:27:46.000Z

bet the same people cry about rates going up then complain when their park looks like a motocross track

Reese Morgan2026-07-15T06:32:46.000Z

as someone who works nearby, these hoons come out after 10pm. cameras need night vision too or it's a waste

Blake Turner2026-07-15T07:08:46.000Z

still better than nothing eh. but yeah night vision essential

Rowan Blake2026-07-15T06:43:46.000Z

Gisborne council: let's spend 20k on a camera that'll be smashed in a week. classic

Morgan Lee2026-07-15T07:38:46.000Z

lol too true. council loves a good consultation process for a problem that needs a $200 bollard
