fines

Stop scheming up new was to extort money out of driver through photo radar and cell phone use scams ... And start fining criminals $1000 a pop for every offence there charged for .... everytime someone is arrested by the police in the city even a iPda they should be fined .... Stop fining drivers and start fining criminals the people who deserve it

Points

Crime reduction and revenue generation

Stop using cellphones and speeding!

A cities operating budget shouldn't depend on money generated through ticketing and fining the people that live in that city...

Fining people who have no way to pay the fines doesn't reduce crime, it perpetuates it through reinforcing the cycle of poverty. You only have to worry about photo radar if you're driving unsafely in the first place. If the city just handed out warnings for speeding or unsafe driving there would be no actual deterrent for unsafe driving.
