Re: Speed Traps!!
A total of 142,500 drivers were stung for straying over the speed limit between April 2003 and March 2004, according to figures released by the county's Central Ticket Office.
From the multi-million pound pot, £3.4m was used to cover running costs of Lancashire Partnership for Road Safety which oversees the county's speed cameras . The remaining £1.7m was profit.
The figures, which are yet to be scrutinised by the Audit Commission, were released as the Lancashire Police Authority discussed plans to arm civilians with laser cameras.
Under the Community Roadwatch Scheme members of the public will be armed with laser cameras and pass details of speeding drivers to their local road policing unit who will issue warning letters.
Volunteers have already come forward to take part in the scheme which will be launched later this year.
I thought we fought a war in 1939-45 to stop this form of dictatorship sounds like what the nazis did to the jews.
