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.

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?
Havent seen any in Pinal county tho which is nice.
Except that we still have a legislature that authorized speed cameras...
