In September 2001, about 113,000 cars were monitored. 21 percent were found to be aggressively speeding. This past September, nearly 1.3 million cars were monitored, but only 4.2 percent were found to be aggressively speeding.
Since the program's start, 1.1 million letters of infraction have been mailed out and $60.2 million in fines has been collected.

Let's just blanket the ENTIRE city with cameras. That way, no one would get SHOT walking home at 2am after working a 14-hr shift at RANDOM BAR.
