Some people are just set in their ways, I could blow this thread up with the amount of info I have on how state police traffic enforcement works, small town police departments salaries and how they work in traffic enforcement. It’s just some people are in denial about how safe and capable vehicles are nowadays.
It’s not completely for revenue but it’s a billion dollar industry for the government.
I have personally only gotten one ticket and it was dropped the same day.
This is always my go to since there is no higher automotive authority than Clarkson:
At this moment, Amazon has the Uniden R7 priced at $411.80.
Well this is now useless for me… Discussing with state police and local police officers in PA, they do not have the same tools available as other states do.
In PA local police actually don’t use radar or laser guns per sae. The tools they have at their disposal are actual speed traps that use a form of laser measured distance speed measurements, or mechanical car based measurements like VASCAR, tools based off the speed of an officers vehicle keeping pace, or other distance timing tools (accurate only in certain occasions; recalibrated under set intervals by the manufacturer).
The only people that can use speed guns are state police and are regulated, so turns out this is just plain useless for me :8
Has a court ordered you to not leave the state? 
Yes sir, peep the anklet @trism.
Incredibly sarcastic. I have not committed a crime, or at least gotten caught yet

Here’s a video from the guy who started Ticket Clinic
Basically you have to find one of the 100 loopholes to get out of the ticket.
Now $374.94 (Amazon).
You have to be lucky all the time. They just need to get lucky once.
Now gone (at least for a bit) 
I finally found this file. Getting out of a ticket in CA. Saved me a couple tix in the past.

…11th edition Fight Your Ticket in California
Note- I am not the author and I do not know or have any affiliations with the author. The document is many years old, but offers what I believe to be good advice for those contemplating fighting a speeding ticket. Take this advice at your own risk.
btw
Is there still a CHP?
Are there no more speed traps in Southern California?
I’ve been driving on the freeways at astonishing speeds, and I’m getting more and more emboldened.
Observations, not complaints.
Would spending $400 actually save $400 worth of tickets?
Maybe in California where the tickets are costly, it might make sense.
Where are tickets cheap? Ha My very first ticket was around $250 and that was many years ago. That very weekend I went and purchased a good radar detector. I’ve had one in my sports cars ever since. I couldn’t begin to guess the absolute dozens of times the radar has helped. It’s not just for avoiding tickets either. It has alerted me many times of an accident ahead, vehicles pulled over, etc. well before anything is within sight.
I think the entry speeding ticket is close to $200 (1-10 mph over).
Probably on HairGel’s protection detail.
Don’t forget the increase in insurance premiums + points on your license
All this and more. Does anyone really want a moving violation sticking with them for 2 or more years?
It’s not just about the immediate dollars but more of the long-term view. Also, many employers have legal plans that are part of an employee’s benefits package and this covers many legal matters (including speeding tickets). I had a moving violation that dragged for 2 years and working with an attorney on the plan, this was ultimately dismissed at no additional cost.
In my younger days when I used to speed more frequently and got tickets, I would generally reschedule the court dates and the officer wouldn’t show up to court. If they did, I could usually get traffic school and a reduced fine. I’ve attended level 2 traffic school (more serious offenders) and it was entertaining since we sat around and swapped stories.
Most colleges/universities have an onsite legal clinic / local lawyer that works with students to get tickets dismissed and that can be helpful for not just speeding tickets.
I don’t really speed now with kids and general age/maturity, but if I were to speed, I’d get one of the latest radar detectors and waze to minimize the probability of a ticket.
