Enforcers should be very transparent as to where money from fines goes.

Enforcement was for the traffic cameras? Literally every municipality I looked at had a page on their website discussing it. Every one had the fines go first to operation/maintenance of the fine system, then to a road reconstruction fund to further reduce speeding.

Throw it in the river for all I care. The point is to punish people who are breaking the law.

If fines are too annoying to administer, suspend the license and issue lifetime driving bans for repeat offenders. No more whining.

Well the government's job to care for everyone and the point is safety. Punishment is meant to fit the offence/crime. Suspensions and bans are always on the table.

I wish they'd put the same enforcement on people not using blinkers and running red lights to make left turns as they did prople going 15k over limits down straight roads with little traffic around...
