Redflex behind speed-camera petition effort BY AMANDA LEE MYERS The Associated Press PHOENIX The company that runs speed cameras on Arizona's highways is behind a petition designed to change the way violators are served with tickets so more of them get paid, The Associated Press has learned. The petition, filed with the Arizona Supreme Court on Jan. 8, does not mention company Scottsdale -based Redflex or Quarles Brady, the law firm Redflex paid to write the document. It only mentions John Wintersteen, a retired police chief for Paradise Valley, as the petitioner and is written under his name in the first person. In response to a telephone call inquiring about the petition, Wintersteen told the AP that he supported changing a rule so violators could be served through first -class mail rather than in person, so he agreed to work with Redflex on the document.

Redflex officials and a spokeswoman for Quarles Brady did not immediately return phone calls on Friday seeking comment. Wintersteen said he was invited to a lunch with employees of Redflex and its biggest competitor, Scottsdale -based American Traffic Solutions, in late December. He said he mostly talked with them about public education and the photo- enforcement program. He said he has long been friends with many people at both companies, whom he met during his 13 years as police chief in Paradise Valley, a wealthy suburb of Phoenix. At the end of the lunch, Wintersteen said Redflex employee Cristine Weekes handed him the petition, which had blank spaces for the name, address and phone number of the petitioner.

Police say woman lied about infecting others with HIV DETROIT (AP) A Detroit woman who claimed in a video posted online that she infected more than 500 people with HIV has admitted it was a hoax, police said Friday. On the video, the woman said she contracted HIV in 1998 and has 1 been "pretty upset" about having to "suffer." She also said she has set out to "destroy the world" because a cure for the virus that causes AIDS has not been found. Although she wore a bandanna over her face to hide her identity, police said they were still able to track her down. Police said the woman voluntarily submitted to an HIV test, which came back negative. No charges have been filed against the woman, police spokesman John Roach said Friday.

"We don't see anything at this point under state law that would allow us to press charges, but we are researching," he said. The woman identified herself to The Detroit News as 23-year-old Jackie Braxton and told the newspaper that she doesn't have AIDS. "I made the tape because I wanted to raise awareness about AIDS," she said. The Associated Press tried several times to reach Braxton by phone Friday, but she did not answer and her voicemail box was full. In 2008, a New York man was charged with sending threats in interstate commerce and falsely claiming to have tampered with a consumer product.
