Will this be utilized to actually address crime or raise more revenue?

Speeding is a crime, regardless of what I or you might think. If reducing speeders leads to more money, used to hire more cops, so be it. I would rather pay a hundred dollar speeding ticket than spend a week on the county farm as punishment for my speeding crime.

In Jackson (my favorite example of a crime plagued rat hole) many criminals are caught when they are pulled over for speeding, weaving through traffic, or some other violation of traffic laws.

I speed, just like everyone else. I do it, knowing that excessive speed often leads to traffic accidents that injure or kill others. So does weaving through traffic, cutting folks off. running stop lights, turning without using a turn signal, texting while driving, drinking a cold one while or before driving, bla, bla bla.
