If you dislike people saying that things like speed cameras are about revenue rather than safety, this may be helpful Recommendations include: Revenue caps for local governments Quota bans Eliminating certain local courts Funding courts through general revenues Better data & reporting Evaluation

I think it's a much better approach to directly address concerns related to whether or not things like automated traffic enforcement are improperly "revenue raising" rather than to ban them outright Data & reporting here is revenue related rather than citation-related, but I'd like both

Seems like quite the effort by @vittorionastasi.bsky.social and team do wrangle the data Nice report website too: fines-fees-2025.vercel.app/reforms Florida is the only state with a traffic citation as % of law enforcement funding threshold that triggers an audit and it has good citation reporting
