you've got to be kidding!!!

Arizona keeps giving me reasons not to like it. Really I am trying to see the good in this state, but it's things like this that make it impossible! This Speed Camera is what you will find along an Arizona Freeway now. They have actually posted cameras every couple exits all along the major freeways to keep you going under 75mph. The plan is to have the state covered in another year. If you go over 75mph you will be mailed a beautiful picture of you and charged $181.00 for the picture they took! Ridiculous!!! So to all my out-of-state friends...if you happen to drive into AZ beware of the many cameras lurking along your way. They are watching.
I am so annoyed at this I am lost for words - i just keep thinking you've got to be kidding!!!

That would be very annoying Rheada! I'm glad they didn't have those when I lived there. Thanks for the warning though...I'm sure it will come in handy next time we are out there. It was nice to see you, by the way. Your kids are super cute!

You can take the girl out of California, but you can't take the California out of the girl. ;) Sorry about those darned speed traps!

It's been fun seeing you at the chiropractor lately. You and Jesse will have to come over for dinner some time.

Grrr! Well, thanks for the warning.
This idea seems like it would be more trouble than it's worth. And I wonder where the photo goes on all those police/emergency vehicles ... ugh! It seems like it would just be a nightmare!
Sigh.

We should install camera's in municipal offices, send fines to officials who are out of compliance of city/state ordinances, and mail a photo of them caught in the act. :)

Then we'll see the genius behind installing speed trap cameras.
