    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.
    Budgeting on a projection, maybe if the businesses budgeted within reason there wouldnt be such a hustle to make $$ to meet the projection and dragging everyone else along for there projected income mark. Meeting a "quota" for the day to satisfy greed for which juristiction has the best rides and facilities has nothing to do with paying top $ to a force that clears the streets of real criminals.

    Speeding is speeding, but filling up the jail house with innocent drivers does not help a community. Do u not drive in certain areas of your city, in the subburbs or those small, random towns that EVERYONE slows for, because the traffic cops are oppressive but in the actual town/city itself is riddeled with drugs and violence?

    I've lived in one of those and also used to commute through one of those. Particularly Hanging Rock, OH: check the links HERE"It is regularly labeled a speed trap as the state auditor reported $109,186 in mayor's court receipts in 2000 compared with $3,106 in property taxes",

    HERE this is one example. Or South Bloomfield signage discrepancy HERE When these areas are riddeled with drugs and sex crimes, violence and the like that I've been around most of my life.

    So dont give me that little kid stuff about bugeting, they'd rather take the easy route and make $$ than to "protect and serve."

    This does not even include the $$ they can SPEND on using marked roadways to enforce speed limits via aircraft. Come on man, all the $$$ we push into enforcement comes out as a display of prowless whether than protection. I'll add one more example near the area I live now:

    RIGHT HERE the lovely world of Westerville, albeit this isnt a drug ridden area (its actually wealthy, very wealthy) the cops are oppressive here to. Like following me into work because the officer failed to check my front plate fast enough, so he decided it was fine to follow me, pull me over in my parking spot outside the office and hold me in my car till he verified.
