Overview
This resolution seeks to place a voter-approved measure on the ballot to prohibit the use of photo enforcement systems in Arizona. Currently, local authorities and state agencies can use these systems to identify traffic violators, but this resolution requires voter approval before any system can be implemented and mandates a subsequent voter referendum every ten years to continue operation. The resolution also emphasizes the importance of law enforcement being conducted by trained officers and prioritizing public safety over revenue generation.
Key provisions
- Requires voter approval before a local authority or state agency can use a photo enforcement system.
- Mandates a voter referendum every ten years to continue operating a photo enforcement system after initial approval.
- Local authorities must have a signed contract to operate a photo enforcement system before seeking voter approval.
- If voters reject the system, operations must cease within 90 days.
- The resolution prioritizes law enforcement by trained officers and public safety.
- It aims to prevent the outsourcing of law enforcement to private entities for profit.
- The Secretary of State will submit the measure to voters at the next general election.
