Redflex runs the cameras in AZ too. The state did away with the hwy. speed cameras, but plenty of cities still use the red light cameras. I don't really mind them, as I never ever run red lights anyway. And my radar detector has a gps with all red light cameras programmed and regular updates. So it tells me when I'm approaching one. My problem is that the fines are considered civil, so your right to face your accuser is out the window and the right-turn-on-red (even the totally legal left-turn-on-red on one-way to way streets) varies by area. Some places won't send a ticket for any kind of right turn on red, others send for them, even if you came to a complete stop before turning. I got flashed in CO Springs last year, because my bumper went over the white stop line when I came to complete stop. I guess they didn't send me a ticket because the second photo showed the car hadn't moved since the first one. But I think it's different in other places.

And I'm particulary chapped about one (speed camera at an intersection) Mrs. Lee got in Scottsdale because the process server blatantly lied on her affadavit, never attempted to serve us, and the judge granted "alternate service," which lets them tape the notice to your front door and then you're considered served and have to repsond.
