Safety cameras. Safety device or police racket?
It is obvious that well thought out speed limits help reduce accidents.
There is, however, more than a hint of suspicion that the police are using speed cameras to generate revenue rather than improve safety.
If the police were not able to keep the direct revenues from fines, surely this would help restore confidence that the police are genuine in their efforts to improve public safety.
I think the police cannot keep revenue from criminal offenses, but (in the example) speeding in now a civil offense so the police force responsible for it can keep the money.
I know of people with fines for 2 or 3 miles above the limit…
Over the years I have written literally thousands of tickets and have never personally benefited from a single one (except for the occasional perverse satisfaction derived from writing an ***hole who richly deserved it). The simple truth is, failure to control speed is the single most common factor in accidents. The public should be on board for whatever measures help control it. Odds are that you will be involved in an accident caused by someone failing to control their speed. My guess is that at that point, unless YOU are the one causing the accident, the measures taken won’t seem like they were enough. It’s an old tired phrase, but speed really does kill people. The forces experienced by your body in an accident are measured in TONS per square inch. If everyone realised this, and took the responsibility to control their actions to minimize the effects of accidents on others and themselves, then I would have less to do when I am at work. Guess I’ll always have a job though. I say, do whatever it takes. Anyone who thinks a speeding citation is ugly has never seen a dead toddler at an accident scene.
