What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Arizona
I am like a lot of people who hate the speed cameras.
I think the ticket itself is questionable. I do not know of any other place where you can be charged for a crime on supposition. The ticket says. you were going APPROX. ______. and it fills in the blank.
Where in the law does it say you can be convicted of a crime on approximates? What happen to Innocent until proven guilty. How can a machine accuse you of an approximate speed. That gives doubt and therefore assumes you could or couldn't be going over the speed limit.
How many people have just paid the ticket because they didn't have time to fight it in court. They have jobs and obligations that take their time. To be told pay the fine or go to court, is an easy way for the state to make a lot of money. This is just another way to squeeze the tax payer.
I would like to see the report they gave that said the accidents were down this year because of speed cameras. Compared to what and when.
The only real way to have a true comparison is to compare the same time and date at the same location as last year. I think they would find that there are a lot less people on the road this year then last. Did they do their comparison based on the number of people on the road or just on the date and time. I don't see that the cameras add any benefit to Arizona and all they do is cause more problems and expense then they are worth. Arizona people are already suffering due to the economy why add to it. They are trying to get blood out of a turnip from what I see.What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
