That's a bummer

That's a bummer. I guess some of the liberals on the Pima County Board thought they would have to step up and take over the programs started by our liberal Govenor who is now going to Washington DC.

Once the cameras are operating, motorists will be given a seven-day grace period in which the stations will capture images but only warning notices will be issued to the vehicle’s registered owner. At the end of the seven days, citations will be issued to anyone who is caught.
The purpose of the cameras is to get motorists to slow down, Deputy Dawn Barkman, a Pima County Sheriff’s Department spokeswoman, said Friday.
Between January 2007 and October 2008, there were more than 7,000 reported motor- vehicle crashes in unincorporated Pima County, Barkman said. Nearly half of those involved speeding motorists.
“Excessive speeding is a particular problem in the unincorporated areas of this community . . . as individual speeders not only injure or kill themselves, but also place other motorists, bicyclists and pedestrians at risk,” Barkman said in a news release.
Both the Tucson Police Department and the state Department of Public Safety already use photo speed enforcement.
Tucson police also utilize mobile radar vans, an option that may be considered in the county in the future, Barkman said.
