Every SINGLE law abiding citizen, driving on almost all NYC roads, are not only being TERRORIZED by speeders, but, the brute-force social engineering, via the speeding 2 ton bullet that is the car of the maniac speeder, forces everyone else around them to break the law to "go with the flow" to stay alive, and put everyone's life at risk. It's a form of violence. Especially risky is the driver who chooses not to speed (ok 5 mph over the speed limit is not speeding, granted), but to share the road with people with whom they ABSOLUTELY have no recourse but to join the crowd and thereby become that which terrorizes society the most, is absolutly unacceptable! Personally? Anyone doing 10 mph over the speed limit should AUTOMATICALLY be ticketed for $500 US dollars, and criminally culpable moving violation points be added their licenses, if ticketed 2 or more times for the same infraction. An automated solution is needed. Anything else is unacceptable! Absolutely!

Only in favor of those who hold the power. Privatization never works in favor of the people. Only in favor of those who hold the power.

However, you have to take the human element out of the picture -- the entire system has to be automated -- AND you have to split the profits. You don't need to actually give individuals the ability to hand out tickets - but with camera, speed detectors, etc., you can just mail them the ticket. Each system is verified/licensed by the local town/police dept. This will allow any commercial or local group to purchase appropriate equipment and participate in providing for a safer community. There are a number of ways to get a plan like this working - you just need to show how the breakdown of profits (b/c there will be a lot of profits here) and that these types of summons are legal in your area. Give the power back to the people. If a local community is being 'terrorized' by speeding, give them the ability to fight back directly and legally.

Otherwise, I'd have the cops on speed dial. I believe in vigilante traffic enforcement... but you already knew that. Otherwise, I'd have the cops on speed dial.

Before you know it, the firemen will ask you to sign something before the release the hoses. You're not paranoid. Bolivia privatized water. Bechtel made it illegal to collect rain water. The poor were arrested in droves. Privatization of law enforcement leads to the ghettoizing of the poor. Before you know it, the firemen will ask you to sign something before the release the hoses.
