Re: Photo radar & speed cameras: Are they in your town? (pic)

My main problem with these is that they're run by a for profit company.
It's essentially free money for the police. The company owns, installs, maintains the cameras. They handle the ticketing and billing.
They deduct a "small" monthy fee, rent on the cameras, and write a check to the police.

So? The camera/ticketing/billing company handles the technology and what-not so the police can do their thing. It would be silly for the police to devote their own resources towards running traffic cameras when they can hire a 3rd party to do it.
