Az traffic cameras

[Flipper]

 An automated enforcement company is turning to an unelected branch of government to re-write Arizona law regarding proper service for traffic tickets. Redflex Traffic Systems of Melbourne, Australia asked the Arizona Supreme Court to modify the state’s rules of civil procedure to better accommodate red light cameras and speed cameras. the petition prepared by Redflex lawyers stated. “Rule 4.1 does not currently allow defendants in photo enforcement proceedings to be validly served with a copy of the summons and pleading by first-class mail.”Under Arizona law, photo citations issued by municipalities carry license points. Although private vendors may send citations through regular mail, motorists are under no obligation to send payment unless they receive personal service.According to  state documents, motorists have outright rejected automated citations paying them just 26.8 percent of the time. The resulting impact on Redflex finances has been so severe that investors threw out the company's chairman for getting involved in the freeway ticketing venture . Opponents of photo radar reject the idea that the state should bail a foreign company out of its difficulties.Arizona Citizens Against Photo Radar representative Shawn Dow told TheNewspaper. “Why would the supreme court overturn 200 years of proper service because a private foreign company wants it? Australian companies shouldn’t be re-writing U.S. law.”

they just need to take them down, most people just slow down for them then speed back up after. Waste of time and money.

They're probably gonna have to decriminalize marijuana just to dig out of the hole these caused in the budget

I just got hit by one of these cameras last night on the US 60 it got me at about 86 mph which i think the speed limit is 65 on there which sucks damn camera's.

Yeah, it's the camera's fault that you were doing 21+ over the speed limit.

On a related note, the newest generation of cameras can now also monitor cars for cell phone activity.

it is not the camera's fualt but i think that if i am going to get a speeding tickect then there should be a cop who gives it to me. Why do they not have to work for there money and i do i have no problem with tickects as i have quite a few of them on my record but they should be out there trying to catch people not sitting behind a desk sending out tickects that is what get me and for the cell phone thank god for bluetooth lol

[daavssol]
