It's because the purchase and installation costs of the cameras
were paid for by central government while the income from fines
(formerly) went to local government coffers.

Evidence that the fines ever went to local government coffers?


All the "evidence" anyone should need is the bleating of local
authorities ever since they were denied the income stream from fines.


So, you don't accept that you are misinformed?


Perhaps you should concentrate your efforts on the local authorities
who are complaining bitterly about losing an income stream which you
appear to be implying they never had. ;-)


You have been told elsewhere in this thread that was in the form of
government grants, not receiving the fines.
