I'm sure if I were to name one that you'd argue that it's primary purpose is about raising revenue. And I might agree with you if it were a common event like traffic ticketing. But robbing a bank, for instance, is not a common event, at least not with the frequency of traffic tickets. Even some traffic tickets, especially those associated with traffic accidents, are not primarily about raising revenue.

Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.-Albert EinsteinAre you saying that there's a fine for bank robbery? Not jail time? :confused:

Yes, there's a fine for bank robbery, in conjunction with jail time.

So ,communicating with someone and telling them not to break the law when a cop is present is illegal :wtf: Although it does make sense given the privatisation of jails in the US and the consequent drive to jail people for profit.

A bloke in the UK was found guilty of something along the lines of interfering with police business for warning drivers about a speed camera van a year or two back.

If that is true, then that only proves the assertion by many that traffic ticketing is mostly for raising revenue rather than traffic safety. Police Officers then become nothing more than armed tax collectors.
