The other thing to consider is they are focussing attention on the wrong
problem.

I read some figures in a newspaper last week which showed that, over the
last 12 months, the number of speeding prosecutions had rocketed (no
surprise really) but that prosecutions for dangerous driving had fallen
dramatically (double figure %age IIRC), and prosecutions for burglary
had fallen similarly. The point was being made that the Police are
devoting excessive resources to speeding and cameras at the expense of
other, more serious, offences. I think the burglary figures were
included to show that not only non-speeding motoring offences were affected.
