8. Show up for the trial and see if the prosecution does <pP Chances are good that your motions will be denied, BUT, if that's the case, the opposing attorney canot introduce anything against you that you cannot question, so...you win!

I see that the Honolulu photo radar operation netted 937 tickets the FIRST DAY. A revenue enhancer, pure and simple. Also, rental car companies are just going to add the cost of any tickets to your credit card bill-generally AFTER you have left the State and can no longer reasonably contest these charges. Do I see the makings of a huge tourist rip-off here??

Let me make it clear that I am NOT in favor of red light runners (we have lost too many people in Anchorage due to these morons for me to endorse it)- but these cameras are most emphatically NOT about traffic safety. They are about raising money for the company that runs them, and the local government.

One thing that worked against photo radar in Anchorage was that it mysteriously appeared right after the citizens had voted for a tax cap. It was a blatant attempt to get around this limitation on taxation, and even some of the brain-dead Sheeple couuld understand that.

Mark Begich, the Democrat dweeb most responsible, was thrown out at the next election, and probably will NEVER realize his political ambition of becoming Governor of Alaska (or Senator from Alaska). So our resistance was worth it!!!
