I had my red-light camera photo taken at Lincoln Avenue and Garden Highway.

After reviewing the film online, it was questionable but I chose to pay the fine. I went to the courthouse to pay the fine of $415 that came out of Arizona.

The clerk asked me if I was going to attend traffic school, which I told her I was, and she told me that would be an additional $49. I then asked if that covered the fee that the traffic schools charge and she said “no.”  So really that charge of $49 is for administrative fees.

Do the math: If the photo light takes 100 pics a day at $49 just for administrative fees, where are the monies going? Is it to the county or the state? And just think – this is just in one county alone. Who set the times on the photo camera lens?  Do you really know who is behind the camera?
