Speed cameras in Arizona nab driver 22 times in 45 days

http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.au...s1oe_250op.jpgWhile we can normally sympathize with someone who has been on the receiving end of a speeding violation, occasionally a case comes up which tests our ability to forgive and forget. Such is the case with Jennifer Bitton, who was caught 22 times in less than two months by speed cameras on Arizona's Loop 101. The Las Vegas-based serial speeder was arrested by the Department of Public Safety at her parents' home in Scottsdale last Friday and booked on two counts of criminal speeding, one count of endangerment and another count of reckless driving. Not surprisingly, Bitton says that she wasn't aware of the cameras on 101, which at one point clocked her Mustang at 92 mph.

What is surprising is that Bitton isn't the worst of the lot. Back in 2006, Francesca Cisneros received over 70 speeding tickets on the same stretch of road, which she immediately threw away and forgot about. When the police finally arrived at her door, she reportedly told them that she assumed that if she tossed them in the trash, nothing would happen. Not quite. In October of 2009 she was sentenced to five days in jail and fined $10,022. Bitton is expected to rack up a few days behind bars herself, along with several thousand dollars in fines. Thanks for the tip, Kris.

wtf!!! BIg brother...

I'm DAMN glad Texas doesn't have those Cameras!!!!!!!!

Guess I'm gonna have to get a very slow beater, cuz I can't keep my right foot from being plated to the floor board lol.:pirate:

I didn't know anywhere in the U.S. was using "roadway" cameras yet. We all know about the notorious stop-light camera intersections.

I read a few months back that in Britian, these roadway cameras are the bane of drivers and the love-child of tax revenue generators.

I'm been dreading the thought of states placing legal speed limit cameras along highways but it seemed like such an obvious thing to do (for the anti-freedom crowd).

Imagine how life will change if you're always wondering if "Big Bro." is taking pictures of you along the way.

Heck, I myself could get 22 speeding tickets in a single day if they spaced these cameras every mile on my drive home. :)

they should be illegal.. we are a free country that really crosses the line

Only completely free to those with the money to buy themselves a lawyer on a regular basis.

I recently spent a month in Holland and they have the same speed cameras on the highways. By law they have to post signs saying speed camera ahead. Kinda defeats the purpose but it does make you slow down.
