Photo Radar Enforcement
Photo enforcement is the use of a camera to capture a driver speeding or running a red light. The use of photo radar cameras and red light cameras has skyrocketed since its initiation to our country through Arizona in 1999. Originally these cameras were thought to increase safety as well as city and county revenue. Since large corporations like Redflex get a huge cut of tickets, they have politicians eating out of their palm. Several cities have falsified reports claiming a decline in accidents because of photo radar. While that is obviously the immoral thing do, the photo cameras aren’t necessarily the cause of this alleged decline in accidents. Every time I approach a speed camera I am greeted with a flurry of brake lights. To me I can’t see how this makes roads safer, if anything I contend that photo radar is not just an inconvenience, but a safety hazard for the citizens our legislature is there to protect. Maricopa County Attorney Andrew Thomas recently announced that the Arizona government does not plan to prosecute citizens caught speeding in excess of 100mph. If you are pulled over by an officer for breaking any state’s “extreme speeding” law, odds are your car is getting towed and you will have to wait at the big house for a friend to come bail you out. The idea behind this, of course is that the person will learn their lesson and stop speeding, effectively making the roads safer. By announcing that 100mph is the threshold for actively pursuing law breakers, they are basically condoning excessive speeds. All things considered, it is clear that the government was hoping to turn big profits at the expense of the citizens, not protect them like they should be doing.
