    PHOENIX -- The operator of a state police photo radar unit was shot to death in his vehicle, which was parked on a north Phoenix freeway to nab speeders.

    The Department of Public Safety is pulling all photo radar vans off roads and freeways throughout the state until investigators can get a handle on the situation.

    The shooting occurred just before 9 p.m. Sunday on the Loop 101 and Seventh Avenue.

    The victim, 51-year-old Doug Georgianni, had worked for three months for RedFlex Traffic Systems Inc. The company has a contract with the Arizona Department of Public Safety to operate photo enforcement vehicles on state highways.

    Video equipment on the photo enforcement SUV, which is marked as a DPS vehicle, showed the suspect vehicle was approximately a 1980s model two-tone, gray/white Chevrolet Suburban with a roof rack.

    The driver is described as a white man who appears to be in his 60s. He has white, unkempt hair and a white mustache.

    Investigators believe the shooting might have stemmed from a ticket the suspect received in the mail. With that in mind, they are going through tickets sent out in the last month or so.

    Unfortunately, THIS is a prime example of why our government finds it necessary to view all of us who feel strongly about, and oppose, certain issues, as a potential threat.

    If this killer was mad about a ticket he got, I doubt this has anything to do with political issues opposition and freedom of speech. Surveillance?....maybe.

    Then why isn't it an exact example of why our government doesn't go after other groups? You would think rants from LaRaza etc, on tape, would be reason enough to go after them. Or the rant from the college professor, rants from the Illegals rallys, etc. Why are they overlooked? If fact directed to ignore?

    Why hasn't our police and government been doing their immigration jobs for the last 50 years?
