Arizona seems to have given up on extorting money from smokers. I guess they killed their golden goose. Speeding cameras are the “in” thing here now for “revenue.”

I highly doubt the smokers have “quit”. I am sure there is a black market evolving even more than just driving to another state. I am sure there are more than a couple of people selling cigs out of their van.

I heard on Fox the other day that New York (I think it is NY) is getting rid of the cameras because people are aware of them and are slowing down, thus, fewer tickets are being given out and less money coming in. They want to go back to the old fashioned way of cops catching the speeders and yellow/red light runners.

What will they do when people stop speeding? Lower speed limits? LOL
