Starting this month, a new Connecticut law adds $10 to every ticket issued for speeding, failure to yield, making an illegal turn and dozens of other moving violations. Then, four times each year, the judicial branch will forward those $10-per-ticket surcharges to the municipalities whose police department issued the citations. Some people worry that the promise of $10 per ticket could motivate some communities to set high ticketing quotas when they need to fill budget gaps. Others raise a broader principle: whether adding a moneymaking element undercuts the claim that ticketing is essentially altruistic, intended to save lives by deterring future bad behavior.
