Mid-Daily Items: Simultaneous slimming surgery

The Jackson 5’s “Santa Claus is coming to town” plays during the more than two-minute video.

At the end is a message that reads: “Ho Ho Ho! Death to the surveillance state! Free movement for all people!

The group that posted the video also wrote “lumps of coal to all of those who make it their business to watch and control.”

Arizonans have been lashing out at photo enforcement cameras in recent weeks. In addition to the various cities and towns that put up their own cameras, Arizona became the first in the nation to launch a statewide photo enforcement program in September.

The program calls for 100 mobile and fixed devices on freeways throughout the state. More than 40,000 drivers were issued tickets in October and November — the first two months of the program.

Some people who are fed up with the cameras have been covering them with sticky notes and silly string. One man even took a pickax to a camera in Phoenix, causing cosmetic damage and knocking the camera out of alignment, preventing violators from being photographed until it was fixed.

— And finally, police in Utah have arrested a man they say tried to steal a fire truck so he could drive home — to Washington — for Christmas.

South Salt Lake police Detective Gary Keller says firefighters on a medical call heard the $500,000 truck’s air horn blaring and ran outside, where they found a man in the driver’s seat trying to drive away.

After a lengthy struggle during which the engine traveled about 50 feet, firefighters were finally able to subdue the man until police arrived.

Police say the 25-year-old man told them he wanted to travel to Washington to see his mother for Christmas.
