OK its really simple people, this is the deal--- go to camerafraud.com, find the meeting location, attend a meeting and/or demonstration or signature gathering event and sign the petition. The citizens of this state got blind sided by the govt. when j-nappy was here. time to take them down and make this state the great state it once was.

Nothing to do with education and all to do with you calling all americans lazy idiots. you have no idea of my level of education. BTW, i grew up in switzerland and attended private schools there so F off you assuming douch bag. Just because your entourage takes it in the azz doesn`t mean the rest of the USA does. Get the F out if you don`t like it, maybe you`ll be happier in Mexico.

Now enjoy this one, Exposed photo radar manual details how to steal, And it’s not from government employees. That’s according to Sean Dow, Chairman of Arizona Citizens Against Photo Radar. In an article released by KFYI, Dow says that the Redflex operations manual, which was supplied to CameraFRAUD by a “confidential source,” states that “judges, city workers and other city government workers cannot get tickets.” WELCOME TO THE REAL WORLD. http://www.examiner.com/x-9377-Phoenix-Libertarian-Examiner~y2009m9d8-Exposed-photo-radar-manual-details-how-to-steal

THE TRUTH PLEASE, reason they want to increase the cost is about stopping people from winning at fighting tickets, the money that elected officials, and courts receive from Redflex is nothing more than obscene legalized graft, and now that their cash cow is in jeopardy the powers to be are scrambling to save their cash cow. Could it just be a coincidence that the moment that Redflex brass gets put on the hot seat, the elected officials make it more costly to fight the charges? The Maricopa County Board of Supervisors have such a sterling reputations, how could anyone suspect them of anything(lol). If we stop the campaign contributions ( as much last election as $72,000 per legislator who could easily qualify) from Redflex the cameras would be gone the next day. What could that $7,710,739 million was disbursed to lawmakers and candidates during the primary and general elections have done to help with the state budget? NO wonder the state is in a financial mess. Thenewspaper.com 10/16/09 The number one operator of photo enforcement in the US, Redflex Traffic Systems, engaged in a public battle of words with its three largest shareholders this week. Thorney Holdings Ltd, Hunter Hall and Renaissance joined to force a shareholder vote to remove Redflex Chairman Chris Cooper and Directors Peter Lewinsky and Roger Sawley. The renegade investors, who hold 28 percent of the company stock, are upset with the mismanagement exemplified in the Redflex stock price and the "expensive failure" of the Arizona freeway photo radar contract.

The person who invents a legal way to defeat photo radar will be very wealthy.

It isn't just about a violation. Why would a company want to have access to the ability to pull up plate numbers, and tell by simply entering license number, where that vehicle was at any time it passed any camera, even though the vehicles are not in violation of any laws, this goes on 24/7. If you passed any number of Redflex cameras going across the state or country even 6 months ago they can tell you where and when. Homeland security has a disclosed contract with Redflex to track American citizens. Pull up your plate number, and track you by a simple push of a button. Any Red light, highway, or in fact any surveillance camera any where in world you may drive. Who can get this information? No law stopping them from selling info to anyone, insurance co., spouses, enemies, detectives, and even the neighborhood stalker.CameraFRAUD.com Post #: 749. "In June, Christopher Everette Jacobs, a Redflex employee in Longview, Texas was indicted on nine counts, including three of aggravated sexual assault, four of sexual performance by a child and two of possession or promotion of child pornography."“He was kind of a computer expert,” said [Sheriff] McCool, noting he worked for the company that manages the traffic cameras for Marshall and Longview." ..

.his is Arizona="Money from each photo enforcement ticket breaks down as follows: $16.50 to statewide public campaign financing, $13.48 to the Department of Public Safety, $25.17 to the Supreme Court of Arizona’s Administrative Office of the Courts, $29.70 to Redflex (the private photo enforcement company) and $96.65 to the State of Arizona’s general fund". http://www.thenewspaper.com/news/27/2712.asp , Arizona "a ten percent surcharge was imposed on all traffic tickets to create the "Citizens Clean Election Fund." The fund allows politicians to avoid tedious fundraising efforts. After raising just $5 each from 220 people in a district, candidates for public office qualify for public financing money to match private expenditures. In effect, these lawmakers collect $16.50 for their campaigns each time a photo radar ticket is issued on an Arizona freeway. This adds up to big money. In 2008, traffic tickets generated $10,095,771 in revenue for the clean elections fund. Out of this amount, $7,710,739 million was disbursed to lawmakers and candidates during the primary and general elections -- an average of $72,063 each. In just the past four months, the new freeway speed camera program has already added another $3.3 million to the total amount collected for lawmakers. Over the past four election cycles, Arizona politicians collected a total of $36,265,795 in campaign cash from the tax on speeding tickets. .
