1414 tickets at $342 per ticket......a whopping $482,174 in one month, nearly $6 million per year! A great profit center for the city. How can I get into the ticket business?
..and @ only one light...How many light/systems does this city have? 100?...it means a bountiful city Treasury... OTOH, Politically...the local elected Pols..the mayor/city council/sheriff/City Attorney are toast. :/
If its done as it is here in NC, the city only keeps less than 1/2 the fine. The majority of it is given to the company that owns, operates and maintains the cameras.
I think there is a company that handles that for a living and splits the profit with the city.
You were possible accurate in that joke.
