None of us likes the idea of the police or any organisation shooting fish in a barrel by setting up speed cameras on motorways and all the rest of it. At the same time, we have to look at the overall cost. The comparison between the income from fines and the outlay seems to be very significant. There seems to be no targeting where they are supposed to catch so many people. It does not seem to be related to performance in any way. I think €1.2 million a month is significant. If we could look into this, it might be worthwhile.
