Just to make $$?

If it was such a problem with the cost of jailing people then how or why in the world is there such a large and exploding population of jailed individuals? Stop trying to cover it with money. There are many other things our tax dollars could be going to instead of to the gas tanks of wasteful large luxury sedans.
Budget projections - learn how they work, and why they have estimation plans well in advance. It is about money. They order cars, construction of jails, etc. on budget projections. Then they have to pull in enough revenue to make those budgets. This is not the federal government. City, state, and counties, are supposted to not run a deficit - by law.
Tickets bring in a lot of revenue.

There are enough people committing crimes that require an arrest - that is why jails fill up. Look at their budgets though - guess where a large portion of the jails budget comes from.
