SAN DIEGO -- Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger is proposing a new way to raise money to fix the state's budget problems through automated speeding tickets.

"Things that you have looked at before and didn't go there now because we are in such trouble financially -- another $20-billion deficit -- now we're looking at everything," Schwarzenegger said in Chula Vista Friday.

In the Phoenix area, cameras automatically keep a watchful eye for speeding drivers. Last year, Arizona took in $165 million from tickets because of the cameras.

However, a state legislative committee is against the idea, and members said putting cameras on streets and highways to raise money -- rather than improve safety -- is wrong.

"If they are using the same kind of system they are using right now and we hear there's a little bit of question about how they are doing it, then I would say no," said one citizen.

Some said the idea has some merit.

"I think it's a good idea. If you have to leave that fast and speed, leave your house five minutes earlier," said one supporter.

For now, the idea is limited to streets and intersections, but some think it should also include freeways.

Arizona and Maryland are the only two states that have speed control cameras on the freeway. Drivers would have to be traveling 15 mph over the speed limit to trigger the camera.

The idea was tried in Ontario, but an Orange County resident told 10News the cameras were removed after a year-long trial period because residents did not like them.
