Arizona has turned off every speed camera on its highways after complaints that they violated privacy and were designed to generate revenue rather than promote road safety.
A spokesman for Jan Brewer, the state's Republican governor, said she "was uncomfortable with the intrusive nature of the system."
It is ironic that Jan Brewer feels that cameras that document speeding are intrusive but a law that requires officers to determine the immigration status of people they stop for another offense based on a “reasonable suspicion” that they might be illegal immigrants is not intrusive.
