Here’s what amazes me. Just about a week ago there was an article in the Arizona Republic, I believe, about how this system is a dismal failure. No one can guarantee that anyone personally receives the speeding ticket in the mail, therefore, it has to be served IN PERSON, but there is only a 90 day window to do that. Arizona/Janet Napolitano thought this would be a cash cow, and it isn’t. In fact, the company that manufactures these hasn’t even broken even.

Here’s my question. DON’T THESE IDIOTS IN GOVERNMENT EVER, EVER!!! RESEARCH THEIR ‘BRAINY’ IDEAS TO SEE IF THEY’VE BEEN SUCCESSFUL, ANYWHERE??? For cryin’ out loud. Universal healthcare is another boondoggle, but by God, we’re going to have it here in America come hell or high water. WE (the elites) know how to make it a booming success. The level of disillusionment is beyond anything I would have believed possible.

The city in which I lived tried a pilot programme with red light cameras. They increased collisions at intersections. When the programme was put to a public vote, the programme was terminated. Also, there were allegations that the city's traffic engineer received a kickback from the company that manufactured the cameras.

It worked at first. People were not aware that they had to be personally served and willingly paid the fines. Talk radio was key in educating the public here (AZ) to just throw the ticket away. Same thing will happen in CA. People will pay at first and then word will get out and they will start ignoring the tickets.
