AB388,1,2
1An Act to create 349.02 (3) of the statutes;
relating to: the use of photo radar
2speed detection in the enforcement of state and local traffic laws.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Current law does not limit the use of any type of radar by state and local
authorities in the enforcement of traffic laws relating to speed restrictions. This bill
prohibits the use of photo radar speed detection in the enforcement of speed
restriction laws. Photo radar speed detection is defined as the detection of a vehicle's
speed by use of a radar device combined with photographic identification of the
vehicle.
For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be
printed as an appendix to this bill.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
enact as follows:
