Milwaukie photo radar; Safety or $$?

There is an article on Oregon Live discussing the 13,000 tickets issued by Milwaukie Police. Raising once again wether or not photo radar is a money generator  or, as they say, for safety.

I believe that all of the cities start out with the intention of generating revenue. They will always preach that it is all in the name of safety. That way when the number of tickets issued doesn’t cover the cost of the program, they still have justification to continue another money losing program.
