Income under the guise of safe guarding your safety - try the Police & Speed Cameras in the UK.

"The Home Office figures show that police are increasingly more likely to issue penalties instead of written warnings for less serious offences. Only 6,000 written warnings for speeding were issued in 2003, compared with 35,000 in 1997"

"Speed cameras are netting more than £20m a year profits for the Treasury, it has been reported.

The number of fixed penalty fines issued in England and Wales has risen seven-fold from around 260,000 in 2000-2001 to 1.8 million in 2003-2004, according to figures obtained by The Daily Telegraph.

Motorists caught by the cameras have three points added to their license and pay a £60 fixed penalty.

Councils can keep revenue from fines to cover costs. But they cannot profit from them and any surpluses go to the Treasury.

The number of speed cameras has now reached about 6,000 across the country, 2,500 of them mobile.

The Government has defended speed cameras, saying they improve road safety."

We get 12 points - I drive through 12 cameras on my round trip to work and back!
