I would have less of an issue with getting a speeding ticket if the penalty was only cash, no points or insurance penalty. But everyone has to bend you over. I think if you cause an accident or driving crazy, then it's a different story. But let's not criminalize someone if they aren't causing issues. I mean we're starting to do that with marijuana smokers lol.
We say we don't have enough police to fight violent crime, but I think we do if we redirect traffic cops to go after real crime. Its kind of like a self licking ice cream cone. We hire cops to generate revenue which pays their salaries. If we did less enforcement we wouldn't need as many police, therefore need as much revenue .....I realize it's not as clear cut as that since you're feeding an industry: police, courts, lawyers, insurance etc etc. it's all made up IMO.
