Arizona law enforcement officials have apparently made Santa's naughty list.A group of four Santa impersonators covered up three speed and red light enforcement cameras in Tempe, Ariz., Monday, in an effort that was captured on video and posted on YouTube.The impersonators were decked out in full Santa gear, white beards and red hats included.They can be seen covering two of the cameras with boxes -- one decorated in Christmas wrap -- and the third with a red sheet. The Jackson 5's "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town" is heard over the more than two-minute video.The video ends with a message that reads: "Ho Ho Ho! Death to the surveillance state! Free movement for all people!"It also reads, "Only Santa knows who is naughty and nice. Lumps of coal to all those who make it their business to watch and control. From the border wall to the freeway and redlight cameras."The group that posted the video also wrote "lumps of coal to all of those who make it their business to watch and control."In September, Arizona became the first state in the country to initiate a statewide photo enforcement program, with plans for 100 mobile and fixed devices on freeways in the state.More than 40,000 drivers were issued tickets in October and November, the first two months of the program.
