I like that. Every crime that is committed represents a failure on the part of the Government.

It does suggest that speeding tickets are a revenue stream rather than a tool of justice. Or am I a bit behind here?

So you catch me speeding, and I get a fine. OK, fair dos, I shouldn't have done it.

But on top of that you will make me pay to a fund for victims of muggings and burglaries, on the grounds that I'm a criminal so I should atone for other criminals' crimes?

Every time I think that I won't be amazed by the govt any more ........

The police can catch people speeding.

It wouldn't be worth trying to collect the money from other criminals would it?
