When a man swung a pickax at the metal housing of a freeway speed camera, the clang resonated with untold numbers of Arizona drivers frustrated with the 3-month-old program.

It’s hard to know if the cameras have more fans or foes. But, so far, the foes have been more vocal, filling up Internet discussion boards and talk-radio airwaves. These impassioned people want the cameras to come down - if not with a pickax, then with a vote.
