Captain Gatso

Captain Gatso is a pseudonymous England-based political activist involved in motorists' rights, specifically relating to speed limit enforcement.[1] The name derives from speed cameras, some of which are manufactured by Gatsometer BV and referred to by the abbreviation Gatso.[2]

Gatso styles himself as the Campaign Director or Operations Director of Motorists Against Detection (MAD), a group which reportedly claims responsibility for speed camera destruction and damage.[3][4]
