* Traffic tickets heavily fund most court systems.
* Traffic tickets justify the existence of entire police agencies like state highway patrols.
* Traffic tickets are often used to justify police department’s budget requests.
* Traffic tickets are used as an excuse to raise the insurance rates for otherwise safe drivers.
* Traffic tickets virtually fund numerous local governments.
