I may not like speed cameras, I may want them gone pretty much everywhere I hear about them, I may think they do absolutely no good for anybody but desperate state budgets, but even I think this is going way too far.

In Arizona, apparently, someone took potshots at a van containing a speed camera and killed the operator inside the van.

The hearing for the alleged shooter is supposed to be this afternoon.  It’s already been delayed once while the alleged shooter went for a competency hearing, and from the sounds of things the guy’s not all there anyway.  His attorney actually described discussions with him as “disjointed” and “showed paranoia”.

When the cameras themselves come under fire, and their operators start dying, it’s small wonder the governor’s on record as not liking them.  Will this be what stops speed cameras in Arizona?  Keep it here for the latest.
