We tried out these camera first on a stretch of the 101 freeway through Scottsdale (a downhill stretch) – amazing the tickets written and paid ! To be fair, the speed tripping the camera was 76 mph and the posted in town f/w speed is 65 – the nitwit record is currently held by a young pup clocked at 121 mph.
In the other side, some 576 tickets were just dismissed due to a glitch in the system where tickets were being issued to non-speeding drivers – the errors were self-reported by the Agency.
Our govenor, Jan the Man (as I call her) has done much good work for Arizona but it is also worth remebering we have had some doozie losers in the office too – so all things are relative
And what’s wrong with the photo radar being a revenue generator? If you don’t want to contribute, then DON’T SPEED. This is so easy to figure out that even a caveman could come to the same conclusion!
Calif Ex Pat,
Just curious, if you get cited by one of these cameras, is it like a majority of areas with redlight cameras were you only get a ticket but no actual License/Insurance points? Also, do you have any info on whether or not these cameras have reduced the number of people speeding excessively (meaning 11+ over limit), or any reductions/increases in fatal accidents caused by excessive speeds?
I’m personally in favor of these systems, as most have a certain amount of leeway built in (as previously noted by Calif Ex) and a working appeals process that can be followed if you do not think the ticket is correct. Where I live, the intersections where red-light cameras have been installed have seen a reduction in the number of accidents?
And while it may be a revenue booster for the state, at least they are getting it honestly by ticketing violators of traffic law vs quietly adding fees to insurance/auto registration.
I have an idea. After puting cameras on the Hwy to catch offenders how about putting cameras in peoples houses & businesses to catch any unlawful acts.

Highways in flat, wide open AZ, should have the highest speed limits in the country. This is nothing more than a revenue generator.

No wonder Napolitano was chosen to be head of National Security. She was so effective at spying on motorists that Obama chose her to spy on everyone.
