APNewsBreak: Speed-Camera Co. Behind Rule Change

[Ptah]

The company that runs speed cameras on Arizona's highways is behind a petition designed
to change the way violators are served with tickets so more of them get paid,
The Associated Press has learned.

The petition, filed with the Arizona Supreme Court on Jan. 8, does not mention the company
— Scottsdale-based Redflex — or Quarles & Brady, the law firm Redflex paid to write the document.
It only mentions John Wintersteen, a retired police chief for Paradise Valley, as the petitioner
and is written under his name in the first person.

In response to a telephone call inquiring about the petition, Wintersteen told the AP that he supported
changing a rule so violators could be served through first-class mail rather than in person, so he agreed
to work with Redflex on the document.

Redflex officials and a spokeswoman for Quarles & Brady did not immediately return phone calls
on Friday seeking comment.
