Arizona Department of Public Safety officials inked a deal with an Australian manufacturer of automated ticketing machines to begin a statewide freeway photo radar program by November. The state will allow Redflex to run a pair of speed camera vans on freeways and two-lane roads anywhere in the state where they might generate significant revenue. The cameras are merely the first installment in a more comprehensive plan by Governor Janet Napolitano (D) to set up permanent speed cameras on every major freeway in the state.

Generate significant revenue from whom? To whomever the vehicle is registered?
Vehicles are often not alone on the road. How can it be verified that the camera is accusing the correct vehicle?
What if the owner has loaned the vehicle to a friend or family member and is not even in the vehicle?
Can the owner be made to pay the fine when not even in the vehicle nor aware the vehicle was speeding?
Paying for a crime you did not commit? That certainly seems down right un-American.
