Bill Summary
An Act amending sections 28-601, 28-627 and 28-1201, Arizona Revised Statutes; repealing sections 28-1202, 28-1203, 28-1204, 28-1205 and 28-1206, Arizona Revised Statutes; amending title 28, chapter 3, article 21, Arizona Revised Statutes, by adding a new section 28-1202; repealing section 28-1602, Arizona Revised Statutes; relating to photo enforcement.
AI Summary
This bill prohibits the use of photo enforcement systems, such as speed cameras and red-light cameras, by local authorities or state agencies in Arizona. It repeals existing laws that previously authorized the use of these systems to identify violators of certain traffic laws. The bill also expresses the legislature's intent to keep law enforcement in the hands of trained officers who are authorized by the people, rather than outsourcing enforcement to private, for-profit entities that may prioritize revenue generation over public safety.
