First off. Traffic tickets are for much more than money coming in. All of the money that comes in from traffic tickets goes out in state income tax. Not only that but a large number of criminals get taken off the street due to traffic violations. My brother in law just nailed a guy for a busted head light and found out he had $56,000 in cash, and pounds of drugs. A large portion of warrants, uninsured drivers, and drivers without licenses are found. There are a lot of things that come out of traffic stops.

Not being in the business, I can understand your misconception.

It's not about revenue. It's about (for me) catching bad guys.

I haven't written a speeding ticket since 2004.

The only tickets I ever write for traffic are accident related, no insurance tickets, and safety stuff, like reckless driving/road rage type stuff, failing to keep right, MOVE OVER violations, and tailgaters.

I don't have a quota, or a supervisor up my arse to write a pile of tickets. They just want us out there doing our jobs. That can be anything, from taking calls to citizen contacts, to traffic enforcement, to looking for stolen cars, etc.

Our traffic unit, motorcycles and dedicated car guys, are not revenue generators.

They respond to complaints from citizens (YOU FOLKS). They do speed surveys, and go to problem areas. They have a matrix up on their wall and their supervisor sends them to where folks want them. That's it. That, and major accidents with serious injuries or fatals.

We don't see any of our money from traffic tickets.

It's cool to hear peoples imaginations get the best of them, though.

OK...so let me get this straight. You would rather have $56,000 in drug cash, plus pounds of cocaine, weed, and the gun they found on them out cruising the streets? The level of your stupidity is astounding. Your view point is as stupid as the anti-firearm people.
