Banking on Speeders in Arizona
There is new technology developing in Arizona, photo radar detectors. Even though radar detectors and other speed enforcement technologly used to be about saftey, it is now about helping Arizona's budget. Governor Janet Napolitano of Arizona, counts on anitcipated speeding fines. Her state budget is projecting a revenue shortfall and she hopes that speeding fines will make up for the loss. This is completely crazy to me. I do not think that any state budget should be based around speeding fines. Not only are photo radar detectors an invasion of privacy but does Napolitano really think that her plan is going to work? Now that residents of the state know that she needs the money and is out to get all speeders, I do not think anyone will be speeding anytime soon.

I think that they do the same thing in Madison county, that is funding their budget from speeding fines.
