Message in favor of SB1070 hacked onto electronic road sign in Tucson

A county street construction sign became into a political sign this morning after the message it displayed was changed to support Arizona’s new immigration law.

A Pima County Transportation inspector noticed the traffic sign, on West Ina Road near North La Cañada Road, was no longer warning drivers about the widening project ahead, but instead telling them [b]“SB1070 Rules. Import illegals back to Mexicoâ€

ROFL too funny

Wonder if anyone got a picture of that before it was changed, that would be a good one.

I was trying to find a picture but was unsuccessful.

props to the hacker! Good one.

I've been expecting something like this to happen. There are instructions on the web as to how to hack these things. Many of them never change the manufacturer's password or write the password on the box. The one I'd like to see is, "ICE checkpoint ahead. Please have ID ready." except that this would probably cause accidents from those trying to avoid the checkpoint.

Whoever did that is a real patriot.

Not the first time road signs got hacked:

Lots of things can be done with technology. I think it was here on ALIPAC that someone suggested renaming your wireless router something like "minuteman."

It would be even better if it read: "El control de inmigración señala delante." At least the ones in Miami wouldn't have to almost stop on I-95 trying to read and understand English. Then you can also have it in Creole.
