Sooooooooooooooo....if you get caught for speeding....how do you propose to "pay the penalty" of speeding? Hold out your wrist and get a little slap on it....have the officer say "tsk tsk...next time slow down". Yea...that'll stop people from speeding etc! I'll take a slap on the wrist if it saves me 5 minutes!
You gotta keep in mind...they only make revenue WHEN someone is in violation...."in the wrong"!
Or maybe 3 strikes and your out! 3 violation tickets and you lose your license for 4 months. Yup, that'll work! But what if that driver kills someone before he gets his third ticket? Say to the family...."the driver in violation is a real nice guy...he only had 2 tickets, so don't be mad at him". Hmm..maybe not....the police will still have to be "sneaky" to catch
you doing something wrong.

I KNOW! If you get caught speeding, make it manditory to attend an accident scene where someone is seriously hurt or dying...or dead. Or, go with an officer to a family home and tell them someone is dead. It'll break even your heart to be the bearer of that news. That will "correct" your thinking so much quicker and in a way you will never forget.......more than any fine you would have to pay! I KNOW this would be the best way to "correct" peoples way of thinking about police, violations and rules of the road.

If you could do something that prevents you from "having to tell someone a family member is dead" ever again, would you not make it your goal to go out and NAIL every violator you could? Sure, there are officers out there with attitude, but I'm quite sure there are "citizens" out there with attitude also! I know of at least one or two!
