OT: Speed Cams

[Charles Jones]

Just a note to my fellow phoenix drivers. Yesterday it was announced 
that the federal government has allocated $275 million in stimulus money 
for the purchase of 350 speed cameras to be put up in the Phoenix area.  
We all know about the speed cams on the 51 and such, but these are being 
put on the surface streets!  They even have already planned where they 
will go: http://media.bonnint.net/az/15/1516/151641.jpg

I also heard on the radio this morning that they are lowering the 11mph 
overspeed grace limit down to 5mph, which means if you go 5 mph over, 
you will get auto-ticketed by a speed cam, and more likely to be pulled 
over by police using radar.

P.S.  Apparently due to current "flaws" in litigation, you do not have 
to pay a speedcam ticket as the law says you must be served in person 
(How are they to know that you received the mail with the ticket, so 
they can't put a warrant out for your arrest for not paying it).

This has been a public service announcement :-)
