I've dealt with red light cameras for years, but these speeding ticket cameras don't sit well with me. We need to vote them out if they show up in CA. Of course CA voters waste their time voting because the courts over-rule.

Not going to happen anytime soon in Ca. There is already a state law _against_ radar cameras (speed). San Jose tried to get around the law and lost, having to refund all the money it generated. We would have to vote to take it off the books.

In 2000, the California legislature banned photo radar with a statute clarifying that although it authorized the use of red light cameras, the legislature, "does not authorize the use of photo radar for speed enforcement purposes by any jurisdiction." (CVC 21455.6) The legislature also rejected several bills that would have authorized automated speeding ticket programs.
