"Scottsdale-based Redflex said Thursday that the 36 fixed cameras will be turned off and the 40 vans taken off highways on July 16, the day after its state contract expires."

"Redflex, a unit of Australia-based Redflex Holdings Ltd., said in a disclosure to the Australian Securities Exchange that it could write off $5 million of assets because of the program's end. Under the state's contract, Redflex supplies cameras, vans and other equipment."

That's $65,789.47 per camera and of those 76 units only 40 had vans. What happened to the lowest bidder? No wonder our government is broke.

And on top of that the money went to a foreign company.
