Re: Fine, Speeding, Court Ect

Thats the thing its going into nothing, apart from to the investors.
Investers are probably a corperation of kind who will have shareholders, they will demand profits, which will in turn lead down to more fines being required to meet the set targets.
This then shows why the police are more revenue collectors nowadays.

Well perhaps this isn't the place to put fairy tales?
Post something with a modicum of sense instead of a guy that does Homer Simpson impressions and maybe folk will think you have a serious point of view?

I have had the opinion that all the police do nowadays is collect fines, £60 for this £60 for that, and the courts issue fines for fun, £150 / £200 which doesnt seem to be helping with crime figure's but certainly generates good revenue.
Fairy tales? as stated above enlighten me, Im all up for being told he is talking tripe, but dont just say it put forward your case.

Here you go Mr D, have asked me expert:-
"The 'revenue' from speeding fines (it's not really revenue it's
endorsable penalties issued by the police authority/courts as a
punishment for breaking the speed limit - something people tend to
forget...) is split roughly 85/15 between reinvestment in local road
safety programmes and the Treasury. The reinvestment in local road
safety would be split between the Local Highway Authority, the Police,
the Magistrates' Courts and the Local Camera Partnership (a consortium
body of different groups who decide where cameras might be needed and
monitor their relevance etc). It is harder to identify what the
Treasury choose to spend their 15% on because they don't need to
identify 'ring-fenced' funding streams. I suspect it would just go into
the central 'pot' that pays for all public services - not necessarily a
bad thing - because public services cost money."
