Arizona senators using a Redflex lobbyist’s false arguments

Just as many members of the US House and Senate don’t understand the constitution, it seems many members of Arizona legislature have the same struggles with our state version.

The early returns are in on SB1352 and it’s not what we were hoping for.

Photo Radar/Red Light Camera Ban Call to Action

Last week, an email was sent out to the CameraFRAUD meetup group about SB1352 being heard in the Government Reform Committee on Wednesday February 16th, starting at 9 am.

Quoting from the letter:

If you are a big supporter of our cause or haven’t been involved in a while, we absolutely need your help! We’ve maneuvered SB1352 into the Government Affairs committee, where 4 of the members actually cosponsored it. If the committee approves it, the bill can be moved to the Senate floor for a debate.

Bill Discussion:

Wednesday February 16th, 9 am.

Come ready to speak, even if it’s just for a minute or two. We need as many people as possible. Be positive and remember that we are winning this argument now.

Let’s all get down to the capitol complex and speak out in favor of this ban on photo ticketing! We’ve put up with this long enough and it’s time to put a stop to the shortened yellow lights, increased collisions, Constitution shredding and unwarranted surveillance-tracking.

Chandler Refuses to Stand Behind Bogus Study

Redflex is caught red-handed again. Not only is their name all over the recent “study” released by the Insurance Institute of Higher Safety (IIHS), but as always, the numbers don’t add up.
