SB341 creates a pilot program allowing automated speed cameras in active interstate-highway work zones. The cameras may photograph vehicles caught speeding, and the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency may issue $250 civil fines to vehicle owners; violations do not result in criminal penalties or driver's-license points. The program begins with one interstate work zone, requires advance warning signs, and is scheduled to expire on September 30, 2028, unless lawmakers extend it.

The Alabama State Senate passed SB341 on April 9, 2026 by a vote of 30 to 1. We have assigned pluses to the nays because speed cameras undermine due process by removing human interaction and presuming guilt before innocence—principles protected by the Fifth and 14th Amendments of the U.S. Constitution. Additionally, these cameras violate the Fourth Amendment, which protects individuals from unreasonable searches and seizures by the government, and unfairly grant leniency to some while denying it to others, contradicting the American principle that "all men are created equal."
