Gov. Hobbs vetoes Wendy Rogers' bill banning speed cameras and GOP-sponsored election bills
Gov. Katie Hobbs vetoed several bills Friday, including one that would have banned municipalities or state agencies from using speed or red-light cameras.
"This bill's ban of photo radar would eliminate an important tool for law enforcement that allows for a more efficient allocation of limited police resources," Hobbs wrote in a veto letter about the bill, which was sponsored by Sen. Wendy Rogers, R-Flagstaff.
In a statement released moments after word of Hobbs' veto, Rogers — who did not return a message seeking comment — said that the camera-enforcement systems "do little" to prevent collisions or bad driving, collect millions of dollars from motorists and are an "egregious invasion of our privacy."
"Hobbs' veto fails Arizonans," Rogers wrote. "She will ultimately answer to our fleeced drivers who don’t support this years-long cash grab cloaked in the name of 'traffic enforcement.'"
