I do agree you must ALWAYS respect the law, but to say that in real life, if you manned the same sites with "the fine law enforcement officials of flesh and blood "(exchange 1 official for 1 camera) the ticket count would be even half that..

And its about the $$ just as toll roads, and the coming tax per mile driven..
