but for them to work, someone has to process those tickets. That’s judges, police, clerks, etc. That’s the expensive part and why they aren’t the cash grab they look like.

According to ASE Ontario, only a provincial offences officer reviews the ticket before issuing a fine. I guess if the ticket is contested, it would involve the courts, just like any other ticket. And you'd have to be an idiot to contest one of these tickets, which has a photo of you speeding. LOL

They also say "The total payable indicated on the ticket includes the set fine, court costs and the victim fine surcharge, which is credited to the provincial victims’ justice fund account."

Either way, tickets need to be issued, and this just speeds up the process AND reduces speeding in the areas they are implemented.
