PHOENIX — Speed camera photos of the man in the monkey and giraffe masks have
generated lots of chuckles. But the cops aren’t laughing.

Dave VonTesmar, 47, started getting the $181.50 tickets last year, but it took
Arizona state police several months to realize the same driver was repeatedly
triggering speed cameras and refusing to pay the fines. By the time they did,
more than 50 of the tickets had become invalid because the deadline for prosecution
had passed.

VonTesmar, who has now amassed $6,700 in fines, is fighting each citation by
claiming he wasn’t behind the wheel.

In Arizona, people who get photo-enforcement tickets in the mail have four options:
Agree they were driving and pay the fine, say they weren’t driving and send in their
driver’s license photo as proof, request a court date and fight the ticket,
or simply ignore the ticket because law enforcement can’t prove they received it.
The ticket becomes invalid if a violator who ignores it isn’t served in
person within three months.

1. That dude is awesome

I hate those damn red light cameras.

2. He should stop until he gets a

mask that gives him peripheral vision.

He looks like a danger to the general public.

3. I like it!

There is a cop in Benson getting fired right now (the canine officer, no less) - one of the charges is speeding, covering his plate, and hiding his face (and of course bragging about it)

7. Have you noticed how many people are peeling the reflective paint

off their license plates so it can't be read as easily by the cameras?
