Nice being in AZ

The legislature authorized speed cameras for State highways. People circulated petitions against them. The Pinal County Sheriff was among the first to sign. He told a reporter that we all know this is about raising money, not about law enforcement, and he's never yet seen a speed camera stop a drunk driver, or execute an arrest warrant, or "just give directions" to a lost driver.

Except that we still have a legislature that authorized speed cameras...

Just because its authorized doesn't mean it right or should be used.

Just because the legislature authorized them, doesn't mean they shouldn't be necklaced with a burning gasoline soaked tire.

i think a paintball gun might be a bit more inconspicuous than a tire and a gas can

Try a powerful laser pointer.

... hmmm I've heard that IR LEDs surrounding a license plate will obscure the plate numbers to cameras, yet be invisible to the naked eye.

Just sayin...

Last I heard Pima County is getting ready to install cameras. And Tucson intends to expand their program.

Do you think the jerk politicians will ever get a clue?

IR LEDs...hope the motorcycle cops don't get night optical devices.

those plastic bags have a history of blowing around and getting stuck on things.

Also, a well placed balloon. cardboard box. vaseline. mirror.

I'm not an attorney, so I have a question about speed cameras. Doesn't the burden of proof of wrongdoing fall on the state? Unless the camera takes a picture of the face of the driver at the same time, how can the state prove you were driving the vehicle?
