It Works Other Places - Seriously, why can we not have nice things too? #ottawa #ottnews #transit

@Alex_S_Cullen Studies do show that traffic police do, in fact, alter driving behavior and interestingly, most traffic interactions between police and drivers do not result in a fine

@Mike__Patton Oh? Do traffic cops change driver behaviour? Or are they just another form of revenue generators? Traffic fines punish speeders, and we just can't have traffic cops at every corner. Speed cameras generate revenue from stupid speeders - not the cameras' fault.

Effect Deterrents - The Speed Cameras never worked. #ottawa #ottnews #speeding

@Alex_S_Cullen Nope, traffic cops do a number of very valuable things to improve public safety. The only thing that speed cameras have been shown to successfully do is generate revenue

@Mike__Patton Bet you can make the same argument about traffic cops, but we still have them.

@EvanHPotter @MacLeodLisa @KenGray @Stephen_Yardy Great question. Who could manage a billion dollar corporation?
