The Myth Busters did a show on all the picture ticket beating scams. None of them worked. They got pictures of the plate everytime.

Thanks Napolitano, you POS!

100 speed cameras set for state highways

Scottsdale-based Redflex awarded contract

The Department of Public Safety plans to start a statewide photo-enforcement program beginning Sept. 26.

Scottsdale-based Redflex Traffic Systems was awarded the contract for operation of 60 stationary speed cameras and 40 mobile units, according to DPS . Currently, DPS has only two mobile units.

The program's goal is to have 50 running by the end of September and all 100 cameras operating by January. Drivers will be cited for going 10 mph over the speed limit, DPS said.

Stationary cameras will initially be installed in the Phoenix metro area, and will later be installed in Tucson and Flagstaff metro areas. The locations of the cameras will be determined by serious injury and fatal collision data from the Arizona Department of Transportation.

Stationary cameras are expected at major junctions such as the interchange of interstates 10 and 17, known as the “Stack,” and at the Interstate 10, Loop 202 and Arizona 51 interchange, known as the “Mini-stack.”

Cameras are also a priority on the eastbound lanes of Interstate 10 west of Phoenix. That is because traffic from California causes a high collision rate because of congestion in the early morning hours, DPS said.

Each highway patrol district will be assigned two to three mobile units.
Redflex will be allotted about $20 million for the implementation of the program. About $4 million will be given to the State Supreme Court and about $2 million will be given to DPS.

“This is the first program of its kind in the nation,” said Roger Vanderpool, director of the Arizona Department of Public Safety.

have you tested the product yourself using the flash of a camera?

im all sprayed up , and lemme tell ya almost every nite i blow the light on 2nd ave and 42nd street (just ends up being yellow/red when i get there) and i see the camera flash every time but knock on wood i've never got anything in the mail !! :dunno:

take a pic of your license plate with your cameras flash on. lets see if we can read your plate number.

I think vince just doesn't want to waste his $ LMAO cuz you know if you take a pic with flash on and we can't read plate - he's buying it. Me too.. so take a pic!

Yep I saw that too.

You wonder why so many people keep buying those 'gadgets'... I guess P.T. Barnum summed it up pretty well when he said:
"There's a sucker born every minute."

I wachted the myth busters episode as well. None of them worked.

I beleive P.T. Barnum also said "a fool and his money soon go separate ways."

mythbusters tested those things and retested and none of them work, get a good radar detector that can detect photo radar and just slow down when it beeps.
