The resolution proposes a measure regarding photo enforcement systems in Arizona, which will be submitted to voters for approval. It seeks to amend several sections of the Arizona Revised Statutes, specifically sections 28-601, 28-627, and 28-1201, while repealing sections 28-1202 through 28-1206 and 28-1602. The key change is the prohibition of local authorities or state agencies from using photo enforcement systems to identify violators of traffic laws, such as excessive speed or failure to obey traffic control devices.
The legislative intent behind this resolution emphasizes the importance of keeping law enforcement in the hands of trained officers rather than outsourcing it to private entities, which could lead to potential abuses. The resolution aims to ensure that law enforcement serves to protect citizens rather than generate revenue for the government. If approved by voters, this measure will become law upon the Governor's proclamation.
