You see, that's the whole problem, profit. But profit only from cameras revenues. The system must be built around safety, and speed cameras can make our roads safer. And safety alone can be profitable. At least for us it is.

Around here a lot of things are publicly owned. Everytime someone goes to the hospital, our taxes are paying. When someone gets paralyzed for life after being involved in a road accident, our taxes will pay for his/her well being for the rest of this person's life. So if these cameras can help send less people to the hospital, it won't take a lot of avoided crashes to make those cameras very profitable (cause we all know healthcare isn't cheap).
