I know you were going for a strawman there, but sorry, I'm not going to defend an imaginary position. Do you think photo radar actually makes a permanent change to people's behavior in a large enough sample (aside from Saint MoneyGuy up there)?
I'll give you a hint as to the correct answer:
Municipalities with photo radar programs demonstrate a reliance on not just steady but
increasing revenues year-over-year from photo radar. Look at Edmonton for the perfect example of this.

It's even better than that, they don't get the notification of the fine, it goes to the rental company. Then the rental company pays the ticket and charges it back to the customer. So the ticket doesn't even have a chance of getting contested. It's shooting fish in a barrel.
