>"Meanwhile, NYC via NYPD gets the rage and vitriol from all of the traffic jams and general griping from the tickets." You don't need officers to write tickets at all you just put up cameras to pick off the low hanging fruit - speeding, blocking the intersections and blocking the cross walk. The only reason that speeding cameras were taken down was b/c the state failed to reauthorize them in time. >"Depends on who gets the money." It's safe to say that NYC gets that money. Upwards of billion dollars of it anyway: >"The city collected $957 million in fines in fiscal year 2015, an increase of 7.5 percent from the previous year and a 12 percent increase since 2012." "Red light camera revenue, which has been on the decline since 2012, jumped $1 million to $29 million in fiscal year 2015. Meanwhile, bus lane camera revenue increased to $17 million from $12 million the year before and speed camera violations increased to $31 million from $2 million" [1] [1] https://www.dnainfo.com/new-york/20160324/civic-center/new-york-city-collects-record-19-billion-fines-fees/ https://www.dnainfo.com/new-york/20160324/civic-center/new-y...
