no, i meant only that, any time money is involved, so too is a transaction, in which one person loses money and another person or entity gains money - so revenue is always moving around... that is what drives the economy. gasoline is a revenue stream too. and taxes. and groceries. and health care. and entertainment. anything that involves money is a revenue stream.
traffic fines are collected to punish offenders by hitting their pocketbooks - which is typically desireable over doing jail time or working a chain gang or something like that. at the same time, those fines benefit the local municipality as well as state gov't in various ways. it should reduce the tax burden that the local citizens have to support. if there were no fines issued (because everyone obeyed the speed limit) then taxes would have to go up to cover the shortfall. fortunately, there will never be a time when people stop breaking traffic laws. society is way too selfish to even consider that. lol.
alot of sport car owners may look at speeding tickets as a fee paid for the right to go as fast as you want. it's a smart way to look at it as the number of times most people get busted for speeding is greatly disproportionate to the number of times they do not get busted for speeding. i know people who pretty much speed all the time, and get perhaps a ticket once every few years. so, in that context, a few hundred dollars extra to drive around as fast as you want doesn't seem like much.
nothing is worst than someone whining about a speeding ticket - except maybe a crying baby on a transatlantic flight. suck it up and act like an adult.
