VA Speeding Fines increasing...

[Ginger]

Other than the tax $$ spent, there's really no downside.

There's pretty much no guarantee that the money is going to anything positive, though. Spending tax dollars is a giant moral hazard game and there's real guarantee that whatever some silly legislature dreams up to possibly be a good idea will even come close to the mark. And when they don't they'll jus spend more money to try something else... as opposed to a private company which has spent it's own money and taken on it's own risk to try and develop and effective solution. They've got a vested interest in success... what does a legislation have? A vested interest in making sure they aren't blamed for failures.
