If you do the crime, be ready to pay the fine... simple as that.
I'm sure they're laughing at you for threatening to buy everything online or out of state. They know that's not gonna happen unless you live near the border. Groceries? Beer?
Thousands of people are complaining? Really? Imagine that. 
What makes you say "it sounds like they might be removing them?" |
To answer your questions:
1. Yes this is "fascist" in my book, they don't even do it in Russia. This country is increasingly become fascist by the day. Don't think that they just take a nice pic of you smiling in your car. They are videotaping around the clock 24/7/365 and you can watch your video on their website. Basically it's like living in a town where they can follow all your moves within the city limits on video, what's not fascist about that? What happened to the constitution?
2. I'm perfectly ok with paying the fine as long as its a cop catching me, no problem there. But an electronic device designed and installed by a private company? How can they prove that it's 100% accurate? When the flash went off I instantly looked at my speedo and I was doing 64mph. The ticket said I was doing 67mph. If the radar was wrong, that would have put me under the 11mph limit and therefore I wouldn't have gotten a ticket. But do you think I can really fight that in court??
3. They can laugh all they want. Since I'm in the top 5% income in this state, people like me and my wife are "stimulating" their economy not the many illegals in this town making $5/hr under the table. You'd be surprised how much of a difference it makes when you spread the word and soon 100 people then maybe 1000 people are doing the same and boycotting the local businesses. We don't eat out, we don't buy clothes at the malls, we order 98% of our groceries online, and most everything else is bought online or ebay (we like getting deals and not paying sales tax). I travel to Cali at least 2x a month and bring back with me extra gas each time so we don't have to fill-up here, etc. So you can laugh all you want, but its the whole principal for me and I will go to extremes not to deal with these fascists.
4. There are many groups already setup in Arizona requesting the removal of these devices. The city of Scottsdale has already removed a couple of them and apparently it's down to 1 senator in AZ, if he loses, all the photo radar in the state will be removed.

Again, you can laugh but sometimes a revolution starts with just a handful of people. Or we can just sit here, forget about the constitution, let all of Wall Street get bailed out, and let the government stick it to us with higher taxes, photo radars, national ID cards and soon RF-ID implemented chips.
Good day!
