Is it revenue raising?
Do they save lives? Here is an idea. When the Federal Government hands out the state grants each year it deducts all revenue raised by speed cameras. e.g. Victoria recovers $500,000,000 in "safety" cams fines, Feds deduct $500,000,000 from Victoria and uses it to build and maintain better roads that may or may not be in Victoria. Every single state Government has stated that they do not need the money from the cameras so they will not miss it will they Fines from actual intercepts etc will be kept of course to offset the cost of operations. So what do you think of this idea? |
