They have speed and traffic light cameras made by the same companies and they are pushing them out indiscriminately.
Also why should that company get money if someone speeds or goes through a red light? Why do they get that privilege but no one else does? The government getting fines is one thing but a private company is another
Who's "they"?
Around here, the company doesn't get money. The fine is sent by the government and the government gets paid. I don't know why it's different for you, sounds like you need to change your government.
I live in Atlanta so they is the city of Atlanta I guess. I got a random fine in the mail and it was from a private company I don't remember their name but the same cameras are all over my town now.
The cameras are in places where people have to drive everyday and the flow of traffic is usually slightly higher than the limit. You can't avoid going by them so you are tracked no matter what. And if you forget and follow the flow of normal traffic you are getting a letter from the company in the mail asking for $200.
