Headline should be, "SF speed cameras successfully ticketing criminals putting others at risk"

> That’s good for more than $1.2 million in fines, if they are all paid in full.

> The speed camera citations come at a critical time for street safety. Speeding is the leading cause of deadly collisions, and last year, 42 people were killed in car crashes in the city — the highest number in almost two decades.

It seems to me, that will total $365M in fines. How about instead of that money going to the government, it can just go to the families of people that die each year.

I drove down to SF a couple years back and people there drive like lunatics.

> About half of the drivers who got tickets were going between 16 and 20 miles an hour over the speed limit, a Chronicle analysis found, which incurs a $100 fine, though the amount is lower for people who qualify as low-income or receive public benefits.

Get caught here doing 30km/h over the speed limit and they suspend your license.
