Photo radar saves lives.  Period.

According to the Arizona State Department of Public Safety, because of photo
radar, crashes are down by 12%, injuries have been cut by 17%, and fatality
collisions are down by 29% on Phoenix-area highways.

No clear-thinking person would want to eliminate photo radar simply because
of their personal desire to want to disregard and disobey highway speed laws.
