Prince George’s County receives a share of the $40 fines issued by the county’s new fleet of speed cameras, while the contractor hired by county officials to implement the program stands to make a pretty penny as well. Optotraffic, which operates similar speed camera programs in a number of municipalities in Prince George’s County, earns 37 percent of each citation its cameras capture.
Prince George’s County keeps the remaining 63 percent, which it must spend on the county’s public safety programs.
