Actually I don't understand why the local government should benefit from collecting the fines. I have not gotten a ticket in a while, but someone in my office got one recently and there was all kinds of line item amounts for categories of money collected for different reasons. I think it included the fire department and some fund for buying personal computers for something or other. Maybe the local governments should not benefit at all from traffic fines, the money could be used to pay down the national debt or something.
