Game of Politics Keeps Surveillance Alive
Arizona lawmakers block a resolution letting voters decide whether to ban license plate readers — surveillance tools often used in immigration enforcement and everyday traffic tracking.
The ballot initiative to put photo radar to a vote of the people fails with 4 republicans NOT VOTING. Two short of passage.
To pass during Third Reading, it needed 31 votes in the House.
The final House vote was 29-27-4. TWO more votes would have been all that was needed to pass.
Campaign for Liberty's Shawn Dow talks with State 48 News contributor and West Valley Families Jen Barber about the resolution that would have let voters decide the fate of photo radar and what happens next.
