A masked man, a citizens group, a judge and other motorists are behind the fight against photo enforcement.
Arizonans drive long distances on their highways, and they like to do it fast.

I grew up in Cleatwater, Fl. And the cops used to put mannicans(sp?) in the cop cars to slow folks down. Needless to say, all kinds of things were left on the cars.

What an absurd law , “silly string” is a name brand ,, so I take it using the cheaper generic spray string is A-OK?

And most of the revenue is going to a private firm, which is also foreign. I think there will be a measure on the nov. ballot making them illegal except if there is a live cop present.

These cameras aren’t about safety or speeding. They are about revenue.

As ASU fans in maroon and yellow shuffled into the game, a mother with children in a Toyota Prius gave an opposing view as she drove past.
Figures; Leftists-Nanny Stater (and buys into global warming if inference can be made from vehicle choice)!

Another dissenter is John Keegan, a judge for the Arrowhead Justice Court, who has called the cameras a constitutional violation. He rejects every photo radar ticket that comes before him.

These cameras are not about “enforcing speed limits”
These cameras are about increasing revenue

That Cesare is dead, died 2000 years ago...all that is left is render unto God those things that are Gods....the coin he was shown had a picture of Cesare on it...
