Saturday, December 27, 2008 6:29:47 PM lets get one thing clear. these cameras are not here to stop speeders and red light runners. Its made to generate more money for the "state". You can find out more info here. The major problem with these speed cameras is that I never see them work correctly or force traffic to get cluttered on the highways and freeways. The cameras are there for money and nothing more. |

Saturday, December 27, 2008 1:54:02 PM I thought these cameras only take a picture when a car is going through a red light.... like when an actual offense is being committed. |

Friday, December 26, 2008 11:40:26 PM Meach, you still get served by the state. If I were to get one of those, it would read the State of Arizona (plaintiff) vs DeltaUMarcus (Defendant). The automated system is just letting the state know that they're taking you to court. Though I do agree that the states shouldn't be using that to make monies. Why not have tourism? Oh...wait... |

Friday, December 26, 2008 6:53:28 PM >The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.<If you are going to be Charged with a crime (which a traffic violation is) then the evidence for said crime needs to be collected in person by an officer of the court. automated systems aren't Cops. And crime and punishment shouldn't be a source of revenue for the state. |

Friday, December 26, 2008 6:50:56 PM Bandit, it most likely isn't that you sped through the yellow light but where 11mph over the limit at the time |

Friday, December 26, 2008 6:45:10 PM Um, yea, how about just not blow through the red lights and you'll be fine. Theyre there for a reason. So people don't blow through them, and hurt other people... |

Friday, December 26, 2008 6:26:46 PM *sigh* Think of it like this. Either there is a cop at the intersection at all time or the cameras are there to make sure you don't kill anyone by blowing through the light. The cops actually have more important things to do, like get donuts and catch actual bad people. Loofah, the simple solution is don't blow through the cameras. I mean, seriously. |

Friday, December 26, 2008 4:29:34 PM Really, all those cameras do is cause trouble. I've even heard policemen complain about them, and you'd figure they help them. |

Friday, December 26, 2008 4:25:14 PM "idiots they put it on youtube. Surefire way to get caught"All they have to do is track down the person who posted this video. Unless he decides to go down covering for his buddies, their butts are toast. |

Friday, December 26, 2008 3:40:18 PM DuckBoy87: obviously you don't live in Arizona where we have so many damn speed cameras that everybody gets caught eventually. Probably some kids from ASU. My new heroes. |
