There is a difference if this can provide significant revenue and cut costs for the police.
The police department itself is also a different entity than the department that repairs potholes and fixes signage: the latter doesn’t have any law enforcement powers.
- gerikson 5y agoAs far as I can see, the app in question is in the UK, which does not fund its police forces via fines. Of course other dynamics can appear in locales that do.
- SllX 5y agoA contributor to that dynamic is that it isn’t always going straight towards the police department: it’s corrupting even if it is going into a general fund for the locality which sets the police budget. Further, that doesn’t address the potential for decreased costs for law enforcement.
