Exhibit 3A Inquiry

Who Regulates, Monitors Photo Radar Companies inArizona/

See the list of officials I contacted on pages 3 and 4.

Almost every economic transaction I make to obtain goods andservices involves regulators. In Arizona, The Arizona Department ofWeights and Measures monitors various scales to measure quantitiesof commodities bought and sold in the state. They have jurisdiction

over scales measuring weight, volume etc utilized by businessesthroughout the state. Government agencies monitor restaurants,preschools, manufacturing, food safety, licensing for variousprofessionals etc. I cannot count on the fingers of one hand, legalbusinesses or professionals who are not regulated or licensed by oneof these agencies.

Yet despite hours of talking to city, state, or Federal officials includingthe officer prosecuting me in my trial, none had any idea what agencymonitors or regulates the photo radar cameras. In the transcript ofthe Court Record on page 3 paragraph 7 at about 5 minutes (Exhibit1A) the police officer admits a document into the record showing howthe camera checks itself to see that it is accurate. The document wasfrom American Traffic Solutions. In the transcript of the court recordon page 7 paragraphs 3-6 about at the 17 minute mark (Exhibit 1A)when I question the officer about relying on the Camera company totell the truth he flatly states that the court accepts there data as true.

To understand the illogical absurdity of the stance of the court

consider this theoretical occurrence that is very similar to what hashappened to me. While I am taking out the trash a man serves mewith a paper demanding that I pay $330 dollars to a clown who claimsthat his hair dryer sitting above a street light on Oracle and RiverRoad recorded me driving my car into an intersection after the lighthad turned red. I am given the option of paying the clown $330

dollars, contesting the charge in court, or if I refuse to pay, the clownwill take my car away.

I spend hours trying to find out who this clown is and who regulateshis business but no one can tell me. Finally someone gives me hisnumber so I ask him, who regulates his hair dryers in terms of theiraccuracy reliability and who monitors his hair dryer camera business.He proclaims what I ask is proprietary and I must get a courtsubpoena to obtain that data. I dont know how to do and am told it iscomplicated to do so I decide I will contest the clown in court.

I show up in court and the clown with one of his hair dryers shows upwith a green hair and a large red nose. He shows me the video of medriving into the intersection after the light turned red and proclaimsme guilty. I ask him for information about the accuracy and reliabilityof his dryer, the timings on his traffic light and attempt to investigatehis character. Again he refused to answer any of my questions in thisregard. I present evidence that his hair dryer cameras are not asreliable as it seems. I also show the court that no person or agencyhas independently verified the accuracy or reliability of his cameras orlights. Yet, the court throws out most of my evidence, because thecourt has decided that the clown s evidence of my guilt is accuratebecause the clown told the court that his evidence is accurate.Despite the fact that no independent party has checked that theclowns evidence is accurate but the court for some reason hasdecided that it is accurate

I plead with the court to allow me to examine the character of myaccuser but the court explains to me that I do not have this rightbecause I am not being accused of a criminal offence. In this case Ican be deprived of property because I was caught traveling into theintersection after the light was red. It doesnt matter if the clownshorted the yellow light making it difficult for me to stop in time. Itdoes not matter if his cameras or the lights are faulty. I have no rightto question his evidence. I am guilty because his evidence proves Iam guilty.

On the next pages are all the Federal City and local agencies I calledto determine, what local, state or Federal agencies monitor andcertify the accuracy of the photo radar ticket companies I found none!
