I read that the AZ legislature just passed that the state sponsored cameras are to go away in 2010. There is one judge in the PHX area that throws the citations out of his court since he feels they are not constitutional. Aside from not being able to confront your accuser, my real problem with the cameras, in AZ, is that the authorities use selective posecution. They don't even bother sending a citation to the owner of a vehicle with an out of state license, since they will not follow through with a hand delivered summons, if there is no response to the mailed notification. Originally, the speel was that the cameras were to be used to increase highway safety, but our previous governor saw the financial windfall possibilities and wanted to use the income to balance the state budget. No worries, she's out of state office now....she's comrade Obama's homeland security chief. Janet Napotano.
