AZ Speed Camera Operator Murdered in Radar Van
KTAR.com reports that Phoenix, Arizona, police have arrested a suspect in the fatal shooting of a civilian photo radar operator. According to the Arizona Department of Public Safety (DPS), witnesses called police to Phoenix Arizona’s Loop 101 and Seventh Avenue at approximately 9 pm last night. They found operator Doug Georgianni, 51, dead from multiple gun wounds. The victim worked for Australia’s RedFlex Traffic Systems Inc., which operates photo radar vehicles for the AZ DPS. Police viewed the tape made by the radar van immediately after the shooting, and traced a gray and white Chevy suburban with a roof rack carrying a spare tire to a suburban driveway. They arrested its owner, 68-year-old Tom De Stories. Redflex pulled its 40 radar vehicles on state highways out of service until further notice.

I'm not glad to hear what happened to the operator, but I am glad they pulled all of the vehicle cameras for now.
a few months old, but interesting, nontheless. These Scamera companies are attempting to shortcut the legal proces, and ursurp authority they do not posses nor deserve. http://localism.com/blog/tx/posts/814853/Red-Light-Tickets-Have "they want to live by the technicalities, they get to die by the technicalities"
