The Associated Press: Arizona to eliminate speed cameras on highways

Excerpt.

PHOENIX — Arizona is ending a groundbreaking and contentious program that put speed cameras along Phoenix-area freeways and in vans deployed across the state.

Opponents have argued the cameras open the door for wider "Big Brother" surveillance and are more about making money than safety. The program has been the target of an initiative measure proposed for the November ballot.

Even Gov. Jan Brewer has said she doesn't like the cameras, and her intention to end the program was first disclosed in her January budget proposal.

Wow, that's great news. Not enough revenue apparently.

It's about safety not $$$.

We need to do the same in California. If a ballot initiative is placed on the ballot here to ban speed and red light cameras I think it would easily pass.

Pretty sure he meant the red light cameras... which are not the same thing but are just as profit motivated.
