We had a couple of red light cameras in Tucson before we voted them out. The private company that installed them was taking 2/3 of the ticket price.

Just to add, ticket quotas are illegal in Texas, which is a good thing...keeps any kind of speed traps of the old days from happening. You will rarely find patrol officers writing a lot of tickets, traffic stops...yes, a ton...but not many tickets. Now our traffic units write a bunch of tickets....they are given areas to work based on either accidents, or public complaints....so very targeted areas.
We use to have traffic cameras....mainly at locations that had the most T-bone accidents that caused serious injury to fatal accidents. We ended up getting rid of them, but at the time there were effective. But, because an officer didn't see the violation or write the ticket...they were only civil citations, not criminal.

And yet, a certain cunt brother in law, local cop says this shit still happens on the down low. Why am I not surprised?
US 301 was so bad, AAA once posted a travel advisory for 3 towns which I think were Lawtey, Starke, and Waldo. The SL was 55 and they would drop you down to 35 in a ridiculously short amount of roadway. The 35 is where they usually nabbed you.
95 isn't horrible minus the FHP. Every now and then I'll see Flager County SO and maybe Jacksonville SO on 95, but the FHP folks out of the Deland barracks are no joke. Wolfpacks at the end of the month (hmm...no quotas there, right?) are somewhat common. I think the Jacksonville barracks handles down through St. John's County with Deland taking that swath of 95 and I-4 up to...Seminole County I think.
In the case of Waldo and Lawtey above, the number of residents was rather low (818 and 670 respectively in 2023). They used the local PD almost exclusively to generate revenue. Most of the actual law enforcement was handled by the county Sheriff's Office.
As for council sizes and all...local Southern politics.

NCSHP does not have quotas, but some troops do have troop-level competition and leadership often look the other way.

A coupe years ago I had an armed mall cop get smarmy with me. I told him to go fuck himself. He bowed up like was going to get physical and told him if he laid hands on me in any way it's assault and he'd go to jail. After going to the hospital.
Not my town, but nearby.
Organized gangs of illegal immigrants?? Who would have thought.

Another senseless shooting of a Black man by the police.

That makes me so damn mad. I've been stopped couple times while carrying and both times I told them, and both times they said, well if you don't shoot me with yours I won't shoot you with mine.
Ditto.

There is a part of me that wants to defend the officer removing the gun from the driver. In this case. The dude in the vehicle did not state that he possessed a permit to carry and had a firearm with him.
The cop said “do you have anything crazy with you“, the dude in the vehicle said “yeah, a gun“. He never identified whether or not he was a permit holder.
I’ve been carrying for 20+ years and in every renewal class I go through, the instructor has always beat into our heads, never use the word “gun“ to a cop and always identify yourself with this script…
“Before we go any further, I just wanted to let you know that I have a permit to carry and I am carrying right now, and it is located on my left hip”
Wondering if the scenario would’ve been different if the dude would have identified himself as a permit holder, or if the cop would’ve asked.
