I just drove through there and the AHP would hide in the median or behind a over-pass pillar and pop-laser you right after the camera zones when people would accelerate back up to speed...

It was crazy, some people just slam on there brakes when they caught the AHP off to the side... yeah that's safe

My V-1 would catch them, but it just seemed futile to catch speeders when you warn them of a coming speed camera, wtf?

i think the demise of the cameras is due to racial profiling.

Could this possibly be another case of a legislature following the wishes of the people? If so, that's pretty much unheard of in many areas of the country.

A case that the cameras do profile by race could be made. In order for a ticket to be mailed, they have to match your radar photo with your drivers license photo. So, if you have a bogus license because you're illegal, then you might skate. If you're black (AZ does not have a lot of black folks), then the analyst might just assume you're the same person if the radar and license photos are both of black people. But they have bigger fish to fry at the moment.

Good people like you are welcomed with open arms... err, as long as you bring your beautiful wife with you!

Come on down, would love to have you!

Same with you Tim but you would have to share a plot of land and runway with me. No grass but dirt and gravel is better than hard surface!

You mean the ones we use for ballast in our 911's? Those are the small ones, the bigger ones work very well as pebbles around the pool...

It is amazing these cameras lasted this long. We should have voted out the people who brought these cameras into the state in the first place!
