The resolution SCR1002 aims to prohibit local authorities and state agencies in Arizona from utilizing photo enforcement systems for identifying traffic violations, pending voter approval. This initiative seeks to eliminate automated systems that capture images of vehicles for speeding or traffic control violations, advocating for a return to traditional traffic enforcement methods. It also proposes the repeal of existing laws governing the use and placement of these systems, while expanding the definition of photo enforcement to include devices that identify violations of local ordinances related to excessive speed and traffic control.

Furthermore, the resolution emphasizes the importance of maintaining law enforcement responsibilities within trained officers rather than delegating them to private entities, thereby safeguarding citizens from potential abuses linked to profit-driven enforcement practices. If the measure is approved by voters in the next general election, it will take effect upon the Governor's proclamation, with no anticipated fiscal impact on the state General Fund.
