AHHH, DAMN! *@#$ SCOTTSDALE

[Eddie44]

but if it IS your spouse, you don't have to "testify" against your spouse - some crazy law get's you out of that.

There is a specific AZ state statute that says you can't be compelled to testify against your spouse. You can testify but the state can't make you or hold you in contempt if you don't. Just a word to the wise here guys.... Don't piss her off!

that's not the only reason not to pi$$ her off - especially if you cross registered your vette in HER name - and that's as much as i'm gonna say here (we all know what the divorce rate is in BOTH this country AND in maricopa county!)

I'm in favor of the photo radar also. It's a source of revenue for the city and I would much rather see the speeders taxed than the property owners, or a raise in sales tax...or even, (bite my tounge) a city income tax like in NYC.

Taxing vices, nicotine, alcohol, the need for speed on public roadways, etc., is a good idea in my opinion.

We were debating photo radar here, not stupidity!

[Guest freedom25]

Independent thinkers, I see.

You do realize there is no interent access in jail??

[Guest Kens06]

Well slick,

I can't review your news video right now, because I am burning a DVD on my main system and don't give a shit about the plug in' on this one!

If you think the revenues for the City of Scottsdale from those six, four foot patches of asphalt is going to have any impact, you need to read more!!

This is a federally funded part of the Interstate Highway System.

The city does not pay to maintain the roadway, where do they get off collecting revenue?

The only REAL money being made here is by the Aussie company that makes, installs and decides whose's pics are worth procecuting!!

Where will the money collected from fines go?

For a typical $157 photo enforcement citation, about $73 goes to the state in the form of surcharges to support the Criminal Justice Enhancement Fund and other designated state programs, and the City Court receives $10 for a fund used only for court operations enhancements. Redflex Traffic Systems, the city's photo enforcement contractor, receives $42.48 for each paid citation. The remaining $32 covers general operating costs for the program, including city rental payments to Redflex for the equipment and other police, prosecutor and court costs.

You might want to check your figures there, sprout. More than half goes to the state, I don't live in Scottsdale so I'm good with that.

[Guest Kens06]

I don't know where you went to school but in YOUR quote I see $73 state $10 city

and $74 for the Redflex Co!!

AZ 50% to contractor 50%??

I don't know where those #came from but It's highly unlikely the truth!!

Scottsdale gets court costs............... Right

I am requesting this topic be closed, as we all know who the antangonist is here and enough is enough. We all have our opinions on the matter.

When I posted this, it was supposed to be a funny, hahaha, Im a tard for getting caught thing. (and I was in the TITAN when I got it!!!! Just wanted to post that lil bit of FYI.)

I understand it became a political concern to a certain "someone." (Freedom25) But in the end, we agree to disagree and I'm done looking at anything more "NEGATIVE, ANTAGONISTIC, or SELF-RIGHTEOUS" from this whole thing.

Thank you everyone for the input. Both good and bad.

Best Regards and Safe Driving.

P.S. I will still drive my Vette the way it was intended to be driven. I just gotta be a little more careful with the TITAN. lol.

Excellent, then Im sure, since you are all for it and plan to help support the financial input by contributing to their "cause." So, start drinking, start smoking, and start getting your picture taken. They will be very happy to know you are such a supportive member of society.

Oh wait, you meant you support it as long as you don't have to put any of your own money into it? I understand now.
