Overview
Subject to voter approval, restricts the use of photo enforcement systems to enforce traffic law.
History
A photo enforcement system is a device consisting of a radar sensor linked to a camera that produces recorded images of a vehicle's license plate for the purpose of identifying violators of state traffic laws or speeding laws (A.R.S. § 28-601).
Statute currently regulates photo enforcement systems in various ways, including prohibiting their use on state highways and requiring certain signs and notices of their use to be posted (A.R.S. Title 28, Chapter 3, Article 21).
Similar legislation was introduced in the 57th Legislature, 1st Regular Session and was vetoed by the Governor (SB1019 photo enforcement systems; prohibition).
