SCR 1002 Arizona Senate · 57th Legislature - First Regular Session

photo enforcement systems; prohibition

SCR 1002 is a proposed Arizona law that would prohibit the use of photo enforcement systems for traffic violations. It defines such systems as devices combining radar/sensors with cameras to capture license plates for identifying traffic lawbreakers, and would ban their use statewide. The bill would amend traffic laws to remove existing provisions allowing these systems and repeal related statutes. This measure, which required voter approval as a referendum, was rejected by voters on June 26, 2025. It directly affects law enforcement agencies that currently use or could deploy automated traffic cameras.
