Are photo radar and red light cameras really, truly legal.?
Find answers to your legal question.

The state of Arizona must of spent millions on putting cameras on most freeways and alot of red lights catching anyone who goes more than ten miles over speed limit or runs a red light especially in Maricopa county. I drive for a living and sometime I see two cameras on same freeway 4 miles apart. Ive heard tickets are 150 to 180 dollars and thousand are being issued. Is this legal? Is this some form of entrapment? How did this system get installed without more people questioning this. Is this going to get worse?

THey are another example of government taking on the "big brother" issue. Its really about revenue generation - not safety.

Yes

The US Supreme Court has already ruled that there is zero intrusion in your private life while driving on public roads. Entrapment is when Law Enforcement "Tricks" "sets you up" by putting in a position that both/all of your choices cause you to break the law. Speeding, Running Red Lights is an act done by the driver only the police have nothing to do with it....unless they are moving signs overnight or setting up red-lights just to force you to red them because they never cycle then it is all on you.
