Not even pretending any more...

This article is typical of recent articles I have seen on traffic
'enforcement'. The pretext of 'safety' is not even mentioned any more.
Simply how much revenue is generated.

Automated cameras designed to catch speeders are expected to pay off a
lot more than first expected for the city of Cincinnati.

Leaders expected the cameras to bring in two million dollars of revenue
this year, but it looks like they will be much more profitable.

A study by Cincinnati police tested them at nine locations, targeting
drivers going ten miles an hour over the speed limit.

Now, estimates show the cameras will catch about 10,000 speeders each
month, totalling about $12 million in fines every year.

So let's stop fining speeders and give them prison time and DL
suspension like we should have been doing all along. Speeders are
killers and maimers and i'm tired of seeing them coddled with $75 fines.

Of course, none of that is actually true.

The vast majority of accidents have something other than speeding as
their cause.

Correct. We should have rounded up the darkies a long time ago and we
would have never had these problems.

Why? Would you have appreciated losing your license and being thrown in
prison for doing 41 in a 25?

Did you feel coddled when you got your ticket for 16 over? If so, why on
earth did you want to kick the cop's teeth in?

While we're at it, we should execute the mentally challenged to keep
them from being a drain on the welfare system. That would shut you up
permanently.
