Photo Radar

[Monster Dave]

So just out of curiosity, what are consiquences if someone gets flashed by a photo radar camera in AZ (in a car rather than a motorcycle). Since this has been in the news so much, I found myself curious.

Do you pay? Why or why not? What are the pros and cons???


I recently heard that Scottsdale had all of the ones on the 101 removed.

What, did you find yourself on candid camera? 

All I know is I never got the notice, if you catch my drift.  Unless served in person, which has yet to happen.  However, I don't seem to get snapped.  I'm pretty conservative around town.  At least around the cameras that is.

Have to be served all right. They also have 60 to serve you before the ticket is thrown out. If you get your photo taken on the highway, just get a disguise and go by another name for 2 months and you are in the clear.

I was just curious wondering if people get points on thier licenses or worse for impartial tickets like that.

Good to note Charles, I think I may still have an Incredable Hulk mask laying around if you need to borrow it!!!!



Wouldn't that look awesome on a ticket!!!!

also, on a bike, you should be able to swerve around the sensors in the pavement which measure your speed to activate the camera.

I have heard that if you get a photo ticket on the highway from DPS you only have to pay but if you get one in a city or town it is the same as getting pulled over and ticketed by an officer. I had to go to traffic school for the photo radar ticket I got in Star Valley on my way to Heber (not on my bike but in the family Suburban).

If this is for real, y'all better slow down.  350 new traffic cams in Phoenix:

Unbeliveable.....

Stimulus Strike Team......wtf is that.....bunch of BS if you ask me....


*edit, I should say that for red light intersections I support the idea because it will stop accidents. But more than a few times I've been on my bike and come up to one in particular and if I don't watch the countdown on the cross walk sign, I could easily get flashed inadvertanly because the light changes so quickly. For that reason, one must be prepaired for the occasional stoppie!!!! LOL

or, it will CAUSE accidents by over-reacting people who slam on their brakes when they see a yellow light to avoid another red-light ticket (that they don't really have to pay anyway).

Okay here is the skinny, until you are served by a court appointed officer your ticket means squat.  There are several threating words that they will say, but it legally means nothing. Go join camerafraud.com,   I did.... There have been recent findings that cities have been tampering with yellow light times in order to increase tickets at the intersections with cameras...Now thats messed up....
