The only traffic camera I have seen in on the I-10 near the Safford turn off. It is clearly marked giving you the chance to slow down. I would rather the state collected it revenue from speeder to lazy to read the clear warning sign, as opposed to some other tax on gas, food or property.

The company that makes/made the original designs on a lot of the US camera installs is a UK company – Gatso.

Resistance in certain areas over has been so, ah … “effective” … that their cameras often get firebombed within a couple of weeks of installation.

With AZ’s love for citizen weaponry I’m surprised the cameras here have lasted so long.

Right, Jack! BP Agents should also get fined for running after illegal aliens and smugglers when THEY run. That would reduce the numbers of sprained ankles. You sound like a T.O. who is constantly criticizing and trying to limit BP response time. Nothing to do with half of the T.O. nation being involved with smuggling, of course. Same with half the Arivaca residents. Tearing down fences? Please. Almost sideswiped? Trying paying more attention and yielding to those flashing lights!

Forgot to mention that the our beloved BP can be kind of a pain-in-the-ass around here.

Like how, when the Union Pacific RR spent many thousands of bucks to build fences to keep cattle from wandering onto their tracks.

When cattle do that, UP is at fault according to AZ’s wonderful “open-range laws.”

Last year, UP paid almost $100,000 to compensate ranchers for the cattle its trains killed.

Some of that expense – if this were a fairer world – should be borne by the US Border Patrol.

That’s because the BP does almost anything it wants around here, including tearing down UP’s fences.

I agree – it’s disgusting.

However, I’m not fond of high-speed chases by any law enforcement officers, either. At night, I was almost sideswiped on I-19 near the rest stop by a BP vehicle when he pulled in front of me to force a little, compact car off to the side.

Also, it is not unusual to see BP vans driving well over the speed limit without lights flashing. In fact, it’s common.

Same thing often happens on local roads here in Rio Rico.

They deserve to be ticketed…
