If your police force needs cash from tickets then they are under funded or over spending or both.
This might be the wisest statement that I've ever read on Slashdot.

Meanwhile, I guess most of the US movie goers where expecting a very serious, true-to-the-source adaptation of the books, and probably disliked that not only wasn't this movie dead-serious about the book, the movie even went to criticize and make a joke about the book's theme.
Or some moviegoers just thought it was a bad movie.
The message was smart, but the sets, acting, and much of the plot was mediocre fluff at best and downright terrible at worst. Having watched it again a year or so ago, I definitely felt more appreciation for how it labeled the political and military complex. But overall it was still a mediocre movie at best.
Contrary to what you think, they are pissed about both, and more so about the US population because it consists of their voters
You mean the same US population that had access to stories like this, http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2012/03/ff_nsadatacenter/all/, well over a year prior to Snowden yet still managed to be ignorant?
Nah, I don't think the government is that worried about the general populous.
It's competing with 5-hour coast-to-coast air travel.
Not to mention right-of-way on available land. I'll leave it as an exercise to readers to find out how annoying that would be across the vast number of states, counties, and cities involved in such planning.
What matters is that they are marking money hand over fist. No matter how you try to make it sound bad, they are bringing in profits faster than anyone.
THAT is what ACTUALLY matters.
This in addition to the fact that Apple has customers coming back again and again to refresh their devices when the new product cycle comes out.
Can all of the Android manufacturers claim to see such retention in their existing base?
We're talking about the country that once prided itself on getting shit done. What happened to those folks? Did principles die away with them?
They got their shit done and retired to a nice pension. When the spineless paper-pushers came around asking if they'd like to contribute some more, the get-shit-done crowd gave them the finger and told them to get off the lawn.
It is up to you
This is the only rule you need to live by to drive, cycle, run, walk, or travel any road safely. Travel under the expectation that you need to anticipate someone else's dumb move and you will find yourself prepared for the majority of situations (note that I didn't say all of them, because someone out there will find a way to blow your mind one day).
I would be inclined to say this is already a problem, especially since it seems like many of them ignore obvious information sources (such as congressional voting records of incumbents) in favor of soundbites.
