Oh never mind, I see it's California. Yeah, your model is something we should all aim for.
Obviously you need to read a little more slowly. The LOCAL government gets the lion's share of the money, so they have an INCENTIVE to install and run ILLEGAL cameras. If they bore the cost of the cameras and didn't get the windfall DIRECTLY, you'd see a lot fewer cameras. Look up New Rome, Ohio in Wikipedia some time if you want to see the results of giving citation money directly to they people who write the citations.

Nice ad hominem though.
