We would have spend money on courts and jail for someone going that fast and the fines aren't big enough to cover the cost... in Switzerland they take money from the person and life goes on.

Anyone that thinks Switzerland is doing it wrong needs to put into a padded room.
So your OK with getting stopped going 10 mph over the limit and paying a fine 20x what another guy received for doing the same thing? Just because you've worked hard, saved and invested?

And whats to stop economic profiling? A cop sees a BMW 7 series going 8 mph over or a piece of shit doing 15 mph over the limit. Who do you think he's pulling over with this law? The one he can get $50 out of or the one that is going to rake in $1,000+?
