"Traffic fine revenue sharing funds are intended to enhance community policing, crime prevention and public safety."

I like the public safety part ..... paving of sidewalks and roads for safer walking and driving. That would be quite appropriate since the fines came from traffic.

I want to thank all those people who got traffic fines for the revenue generated to enhance community policing, crime prevention and public safety. Perhaps we can hope for an increase in revenues next year. We could develop this into a growth industry.

On the other hand we could all drive more carefully and not get any fines, and the above mentioned entitys would have to get their funding somewhere else or close down.

If we didnt have people breaking laws we wouldnt need
Police, lawyers, judges, jails, jail guards, sheriffs, prisons, etc; and we would have a huge unemployment problem. Its remarkable the number of people who earn their living because of people who commit crimes. They better hope that it never stops.

Now you know why they are sent to write tickets instead of catch violent offenders. Writing tickets is more cost effective, it provides for a good return on investment.

They sure can't make money off real crooks.

Just something to think about. The majority of wanted persons are caught during traffic stops for speeding etc. As well impaired drivers are caught by traffic enforcement. Think about that the next time you get caught speeding.

They can make money off real crooks because the proceeds of crime can be confiscated. For drug dealers that can be significant.

As well, the likelihood of getting a ticket makes some people slow down. How many people did not get killed because of that? As Palopu says, don't speed don't pay a fine.

Proceeds of crime? Ha ha ha . Silly goose. Every one knows crime doesn't pay. Right?
