Sounds like the people may have won a small battle against Big Brother.

I was in Phoenix in Feb. for The Copper on Dirt. The traffic jams the cameras caused was definitely unsafe. All the cars were bunched up with no room to make an evasive move if needed.
With out the cameras, you had 3 & 4 lanes of traffic running different speeds, it strung the traffic out and made me feel safer.
On top of that a friend of mine was there in Feb. and got caught by the camera. Not only did he have to pay a fine, he had to pay for the expense of tracking him down through his rental car company.
