Houston: Hundreds of tickets thrown out amid ticket writing scandal (Now 6000+)

HOUSTON -- City of Houston prosecutors are dismissing hundreds of speeding tickets written by four Houston Police officers accused in a ticket-rigging scheme first uncovered by the I-Team.
"It is in the interest of justice and simply the right thing to do," said Randy Zamora, Chief of the Criminal Law Division for the City of Houston Legal Department.
This is the same scandal in which the officer killed himself after being put on administrative leave a few months back.
This story is troubling for two reasons
Even though the tickets will be thrown out if written by any of these four officers, the citizen STILL has to take time out of their day/off of work, go to court, and ask that it be thrown out...
Also, this is disturbing...

"We're talking a whole lot of money, we're talking a whole lot of money and it's a shame but it's just the result of people lying on traffic tickets trying to defraud the system," Kubosh said.
So, its just about the money? Not about public safety as law enforcement likes to claim for writing speeders? Maybe he meant it another way, but thats not how I'm reading it.

My brother was one of the fortunate ones 
He was ticketed by one of the four cops (not the dead one).

I'm sure the residents of Houston believe more government is the answer to this problem.

6,000 tickets over what period of time?

You need a witness to write a speeding ticket?
