The top speeder, who drives often in southern Brooklyn, has been caught speeding by school zone speed cameras more than 1,000 times since mid-2023, according to new data from Transportation Alternatives and Families For Safe Streets.
You could also theoretically have a system that confiscated a car once it has accumulated X points, no matter who was driving. I bet you’d be careful to whom you lend your car, and would teach your teens strictly!
Its about $230 per ticket. If they get them from cameras and don’t fight them the city probably comes out on top. If it’s cops pulling them over and they fight in court the profits evaporate pretty quick.
So they haven’t revoked his license and impounded everything he drives because…?
New York even has a points system that results in license revocation if they build up. Sounds like they simply aren’t using it.
Most states don’t apply points for camera fines because the camera cannot identify who was driving. The laws are different vs fines issued by police.
In the UK, they write to the registered keeper of the vehicle to ask who was driving.
If the keeper doesn’t respond or doesn’t know who was driving then they get the fine and points themselves.
That seems reasonable.

I mean, these jackasses are probably funding a sizeable chunk of the city with that many tickets…

And you think that would stop him?
If he kept getting caught, then he’d wind up in prison. Judges get really mad when you just ignore them.
