Speed Violations * USA Arizona bill would raise stakes
Phoenix,AZ,USA -AP/Product Design & Development -June 17, 2009 — A bill advancing in the Legislature would mean that speeding violations captured by state photo enforcement cameras would be reported for possible action against the violator's drivers license... The 2008 law that authorized the Department of Public Safety's photo enforcement program specifically barred courts from reporting violations to the Motor Vehicle Division and prohibited MVD from using the violations to add points to violators' licenses... A lobbyist representing a trucking industry group and an insurance company said both want to know whether applicants for jobs or insurance coverage have speeding violations... (Video from YouTube, by EditWeapon -23 Jan 2009: I was going 67 mph in what had been temporarily changed to a 55 mph zone on Arizona 101 Highway. For anyone who wants to know what it looks like to see the camera, here you go... Btw, the camera tickets in AZ are now considered to be like a parking ticket, and therefore the ticket goes with the car. This means that you don't have to actually be served by a processor server for the ticket to "count". Which is why it says on the ticket, "No court appearance is required and poin ts will not be assessed to your driving record. This Notice of Violation is not subject to dismissal due to defensive driving school attendance." ... Instead, the ticket now travels along with the car, which means that if you have too many "parking tickets", the car can be impounded... This info came from a friend of mine in January of 2008. He's a civil prosecutor for the city of Scottsdale, Arizona)
