A Woman's Right to Light 

I found this petition online when surfing the Internet, attempting to stay abreast of all things Arizona. The proposal is called "A Woman's Right to Light" and no, it has nothing to do with smoking. The verbiage of the measure is as follows:

"We, the undersigned, call on the Arizona Legislature to pass a law that states that a woman has the right to drive to a lighted, populated area when being stopped by law enforcement at night, for her safety and that of the officer."

The woman would be required to signal the officer by turning on her hazard lights and reducing her speed to a specified limit to communicate her intention to stop in a lighted area.

QUESTION: Is this necessary?
