Yeah the bastards. Imagine dishing out a punishment to people who are breaking the law. Crazy. :roll:

taken from an independent article:
"Accurate information on the amount of cash they raise is hard to come by. Figures released under the Freedom of Information Act in 2005 showed that during the 2003/04 financial year, speed cameras in England and Wales had raised £112.2m. Not a bad little earner. "
they don't make that much money!!!! i'd like to see how much you earn if you don't consider that alot
from a seperate article:
"The last audited 12 month period is the 2003/04 financial year that ended on 31 March 2004. The total fine receipts for speeding and red light offences detected by fixed and mobile cameras was £113,549,240.
Of this amount, £91,848,844 was reinvested in road safety as payments back to the partnerships including the police, local highway authorities and magistrates' courts who operate within the safety camera programme. The amount retained by the Treasury was £21,700,396 which is the difference"
the government made 21 million quid!!!!! i'd say that's a lot0 -
In government revenue terms that's barely noticable. It's not a lot of money at all, around 30p per person.Uncompromising extremist0

i see what you're saying, but it's still a lot of cash 0

That 21 million isn't even close to covering the budget cuts that the one (small) NHS trust I work for (covering less than 1% of the UK pop'n) has had to deal with this year. The Man Utd first team pays more than that in income tax!
Although I do think the lottery is a great idea! 0 -
What a brilliant idea, now we've just got to wait ten years for the government to consider putting it forward as a trial on one street in a quiet village.0

again, i appreciate what you're saying. but comparison wasn't in the OP. i was just saying that 21 million quid however you look at it is a lot of money 0 -

Pah, I wouldn't get out of bed for less than £25 million!
Which probably explains all these bedsores.0
