Does anyone remember the red light cameras that were on Newport Blvd in Costa Mesa? Why were they removed?

I was just thinking back to those red light cameras on Newport Blvd. I remember someone telling me people were smashing them regularly. Is that why the city took them down?

Near death on Half Dome’s Regular Northwest Face: in search of hikers who nearly killed us with rocks

On June 30th my friend and I climbed the regular northwest face of half dome. At about 6:30pm we were about 200 feet from the summit and noticed lots of rocks coming down from the top. At first we thought this was rockfall but we soon realized that these were intentionally being thrown. After yelling up to the people above they heard and acknowledged us with something unintelligible and continued to throw rocks. We had several watermelon sized rocks avoid our heads by just 2-3 feet when they tossed a block larger than my torso towards us. This rock missed us by only 2-3 feet as well. We called 911, who transferred us to a ranger, and since they had stopped throwing rocks by this point the ranger stated they would not be sending someone up the cables to investigate. If you hiked half dome on June 30th and have any possible leads please let us know.

Police activity in Turtle Ridge

Last time this happened it was a break in at Shady Canyon, but it could be anything.
