I think the aim is to get people to slow down even when there isn’t a cop, since one could always be around. It doesn’t really work that well and is a poor substitute for good road design, but still.
I’m pretty sure some places use the traffic ticketing as income, which is a huge perverse incentive. Or maybe they just have quotas. Or benefit from seizing property from people. The police are a problem, but i’m sure this community is aware.
Shouldn’t that be the whole point? Get people to slow down and behave? Or is punishment the entire purpose?
