I believe the speed cameras have officially been decomissioned in Phoenix now. Too many complaints and too difficult to enforce. ________________________________ From: "erikhansen@thebluezone.net" <erikhansen@thebluezone.net> To: Utah Astronomy <utah-astronomy@mailman.xmission.com> Sent: Monday, November 7, 2011 9:27 AM Subject: Re: [Utah-astronomy] Jupiter transit and GRS, Thurs Nov. 3 and Fri Nov. 5
Chuck and all, If you ever go to Phoenix, bare in mind traffic cams are everywhere and you will never know you got caught until you receive the ticket in the mail. A Phoenix man claimed someone took his car, but alas the picture showed him at the wheel.
Many police departments have a no chase rule so perhaps rabbiting is a good option, but if they get your plate number it means big problems for those of us with something to lose. I have been a passenger in autos going over 120 mph, it is usually the last time I ride with that person. I would rather someone try and kill themselves without me present.

Chuck, honestly now: You may have not been cited, but have you at least been pulled over? Thank the Highway Patrol (and God, I guess) for those warning tickets.
Kim, honestly, since that day 30 years ago, I have not even been pulled-over.
Once I thought I was being pulled-over, but the trooper just wanted to get past me, apparently.
On Bangerter Highway in the Mazda a few years ago, I blew by a trooper with radar doing about 20 over. He just motioned for me to "slow down" and didn't come after me. No ticket in the mail, nothing.
That's it!
