Abavoti base-Arizona Bathula Ukunqanda Amakhamera Okusheshisa
Abavoti base-Arizona bathulile uProposition 319, umthetho onqanda izifunda ukuthi zisebenzise amakhamera okusheshisa amasha. Le measure idala ukuthi iPhoenix kumele ivote ngokusebenza kwalezi zithamuzana ezikhona.
Abavoti base-Arizona bathulile ngokucacile ukunqanda ukwandiswa kwezinhlelo zokushayisa ezisebenzisa amakhamera okusheshisa, ngokuvota uProposition 319. Lo mthetho uvumela izifunda nezidolobhana ezinesistimu yamakhamera okusheshisa noma ukukhanya okubomvu ukuthi ziqhubeke nokusebenza kodwa kufanele zibeke lezi zinhlelo phambi kwabavoti ekuvoteni okujwayelekile okulandelayo. Izifunda ezingenawo la makhamera manje azikwazi ukuzisebenzisa ngaphandle kokuvunyelwa abavoti.
Umphumela wamavoti ubonise ukungavumi okubanzi kule ndlela yokushayisa. Ngokwezibalo ezisemthethweni, u-62.11% wabavoti kulo lonke isifunda bavota 'Yebo,' kanti u-37.89% bavota 'Cha.' Kwisifunda sase-Maricopa, lapho iPhoenix ikhona, usizo lwaba ngu-63.47%, kanti ukunqatshelwa kwaba ngu-36.53%. Lo mthetho wadlula ezifundeni zonke esifundweni.
Lokhu kudlula kwemithetho kuletha ngemuva kokudideka okukhulu ePhoenix, lapho uhlelo lwamakhamera lokusheshisa lubhekene nokulimelela kusukela ekubuyiselweni kwaso ngo-Mashi. I-Department yeZokuthuthwa yedolobha iPhoenix ibikezile ukuthi kwenzeka izigameko ezingu-12 zokubola amakhamera. Lezi zigameko zihlanganisa ukugqoka ngamafutha nokwephula ngokomzimba; umuntu oyedwa ubikezelwe ukuthi waboshela ithamuzana bese edraga nge-truck. Ezinye izithamuzana zibonakale zine-bullet wounds futhi zigqoke amafutha.
Isigameko esibalulekile kwenzeka izinsuku ezimbalwa ngaphambi kosuku lokuvota, lapho umuntu esebenzisa amafutha abomvu ukugqoka ithamuzana elise-East side ye-7th Street eduze kuka-Fate Brewing Company. Le thamuza, echazwe njengokufana ne-R2-D2 ngenxa yemilo yayo, ibe isithamuzana esijwayelekile sabo abangavumi ukushayisa okuzenzakalelayo.
Noma ngabe kukhona ukulimelela kwephoyintiki, amaphoyinti edolobha aqhubeka nokuthi la makhamera asebenza kahle. UJohn Trierweiler, umeluleki weCity of Phoenix, uthe bayaqonda isinqumo sabavoti kodwa bazohamba phambili ngezinhlelo zabo kuze kufike isikhathi sokuvota.
"Injongo yethu yokunciphisa imigudu emibi nokusindisa izimpilo ayishintshi," kusho uTrierweiler. Idatha evela edolobhaneni ibonisa ukuthi kusukela ngo-Mashi 25 kuze kube ngu-Septemba 30, amakhamera ashayise abashayeli izikhathi ezingu-336,491. Kodwa-ke, hhayi zonke lezi zikhathi zibangele ukukhishwa kwesikweletu. Kuze kube ngu-Septemba 30, u-96,464 waba yizikweletu ezikhishiwe.
Ngokwezimali, uhlelo luthole imali eningi. Kwezinkulungwane ezingama-96,464 zezikweletu, u-16,798 ukhokhelwe, okuhlanganisa u-$4,175,811.90 emalini ephelele. Ngemuva kokususa izindleko zesifunda, iPhoenix ithole u-$1,497,116.53.
Idolobha likhokhela i-Verra Mobility, inkampani esebenzisa amakhamera, u-$3,000 ngenyanga yethamuza ngalinye elingu-17, kanye no-$20 ngesikweletu esikhokhelwayo. Imali esele isetshenziselwa izindleko zomsebenzi wokubheka amafoto kanye nokusekela i-Vision Zero Road Safety Action Plan.
Noma uProposition 319 unqanda ezinye izifunda, awunqandi iPhoenix ukuthi isebenzise amakhamera ngaphambi kokuvota. Lokhu kusho ukuthi abavoti bazoba nesinqumo sokugcina mayelana nalesi simiso ekuvoteni okulandelayo. Umphumela wale measure ubonisa ukudideka okukhulayo phakathi kwezinhlelo zedolobha zokusebenzisa ubuchwepheshe bokuphepha komgwaqo nokungavumi kwabavoti.
Njengoba iPhoenix ilungiselela isigaba esilandelayo semithetho, idolobha lisho ukuthi liyazama izindlela ezintsha zokuphucula ukuphepha komgwaqo, nakuba indima yamakhamera okusheshisa ingabuzwa.
