Speak Up: Backing the Blue means giving police tools to keep Arizona streets safe

State Sen. Frank Carroll penned an op-ed urging fellow lawmakers to reject SB 1019, which would ban Arizona cities and towns from using photo enforcement, including cameras to catch red-light runners and speeding motorists. He also opposes SCR 1002, which would refer to the 2026 ballot a proposal to outlaw photo enforcement statewide.

  • “I’m curious if someone can explain why license testing is only given once, and not having to test again? Usually when you turn 65 years old. I feel all drivers become complacent and have a tendency to put the severity of laws and safety aside. Was it a cost-savings? Is this why Arizona has some of the worst driving records? — Mina Sanchez via email
