You can't have fun in Arizona anymore.
All over the highways around Phoenix there are speed cameras to take pictures of speeders. The funny thing is there are signs up 1/2 mile and 300 feet before the cameras warning you of their use.
Doesn't that defeat the purpose of the speed cameras? Shouldn't they be a $185 surprise? There are cameras in fixed spots but there are also mobile cameras in SUVs parked by the side of the highway. They also have signs warning you of the camera. These can be left anywhere, highways or residential streets. Surprise!
This might catch people who aren't paying attention, but I think it's more likely they will cause people to decelerate quickly and rear end other drivers...
There are also intersection cameras to catch people running red lights. LA has a number of places with similar cameras. While I was in Phoenix, 4 guys dressed as Santa Claus covered up the cameras at an intersection in Tempe. This is against the law. But kinda funny. The video of this can be found on YouTube.
You can't drink and drive in AZ. You can't do that most everywhere, or shouldn't. However, the police also have a mobile DUI processing unit in a big RV. So you get pulled over for imbibing too much, you get taken to the RV and processed. Finger printed, photographed, and blood drawn. This means there's no lag time to have the blood alcohol lower naturally as they are taking you to jail.
Since it's only an RV, where do they put the drunks? In the bathroom? The bedroom? I think that a bunch of drunk people in a bedroom would be a party.

The Scottsdale police are also putting bait cars out in parking lots. The doors are unlocked and maybe the keys are in the ignition. So some guy walking by might see this, jump in and take the vehicle for a ride. The police follow behind, press a button, the engine dies and the doors lock. Trapped. This, I am told, is not entrapment. But it kind of is. It's allowing a persons stupidity to take over because a temptation is laid before them. I wonder how many are teenagers? Just being stupid? However, what does the Scottsdale police do? They put up a sign telling you there may be bait cars.
So, because of Big Brother and all the cops, Arizona is no longer fun.
