I have 2 question regrading this 1)What is the max speed you can go past the posted limit before your flashed.2)how long before you get it in the mail?I think i got dinged last Friday while on my way to work on i-10 in Avondale going 59 in a 55 posted limit,what gets me is that afternoon going east i was going 54 and people where passing me the camera did not flash at all so it is kind of shady i am beginning to have my doubts about these cameras accuracy.

If they can't stop within 3 seconds, their reactions are too slow - or they're driving too fast. PV: Keep the money, you'll need it! The economy is in the septic tank!

"the lights weren't working properly." Un-huh. I believe that like I believe in the man in the moon. PV just got caught rigging the lights and now are trying to back out of this.

why did they wait a month to repair them when people were complaining after a few days. Was it because some folks had decided to take them to court, and they would have lost face while some valiant legislators trying to get back our freedoms of privacy, and get freeway cameras banned. All citizens would have seen their sleazy tactics at work. Funny how the yellows were at 3 seconds the minimum required by federal law. Not 2.9 or 3.1 just at the very minimum required, but far below recommended by university studies for safety of 3.9 seconds. It is a proven fact, and common sense that longer yellow lights leads to less traffic accidents, Seems Redflex has had the same glitch in there cameras in several other states to. Wonder why it is always at about 3 seconds? I am sure the extra revenue derived from the shorter yellows had nothing to do with it. Surely no one would sink that low to put people in danger to make a couple of bucks. The !.5 second difference could have cost the lives of anyone of us or our kids. I think this has to be investigated to a much greater extent, seems this is being swept under the carpet by elected officials who benefit from the money coming from Redflex that goes to state election campaigns.

Like I've been saying. These cameras are not accurate so how can you trust them to not be sending out tickets for a crime that you did not commit? I hope everyone in this country is happy with the direction we are headed with big government watching our every move. Hey, if you didin't do anything wrong then you don't have anythign to worry about, right? Except inaccurate speeding tickets to milk money from you. Hahahaha, brainwashed losers deserve it. Pay up, sell outs.
