Fwd: Calif. Senate to vote Tu 4-19 on speed cameras - $400 tickets in the mail

Downtown Chicago just started experimenting with that idea last year, I'm sure that I've had my plate captured during that trial.

We already have this nonsense here in AZ. However the state legislature 
just voted against allowing them on freeways. The AHP wanted to use 
them on Loop 101, which is a notoriously fast and agressively-driven 
stretch of roadway. So we'll only have them on city streets, and only 
in a few cities (Tempe is one) that have them.

We also have red light cameras here in many cities, but curiously AZ is 
a no-front-plate state. In CA if you have no front plate and a red 
light camera snaps your picture, it will never get prosecuted because 
your mug and the plate are not both visible. Somehow here they get 
around it legally, apparently by catching a picture of the rear of the 
car as well. Seems like you could fight that in court.
