I suspect that there are far more likely reasons. IN the case I know
the fines will go to the local county not the agency issuing the ticket.
I think it is more a dislike for the misuse. There are far easier
ways to generate traffic revenue. In any case, Texas limits the portion
of the total city revenue that can be raised from tickets.
