...most of which are written without regard to any real safety criteria, but rather to trap motorists for explicit revenue purposes.

And then there are motorists who are simply falsely accused by a dishonest cop who knows that the cost of fighting the ticket is higher than the cost of paying it and moving on.

Nonsense. When you need radar to tell if someone is 5mph over or write tickets to a motorist who was 8mph over because all of the traffic was, that has nothing to do with "safety" and everything to do with "revenue". That is why seatbelt laws are the new darling of "law enforcement". Big fines to tack on for a person bother no one. It is theft, and not surprisingly these thefts are way up since the economy tanked.
