My understanding is it is $ motivated. The manufacturer places the devices for free in return for a set percentage of the revenue generated for the municipality. The fact that the owner of the car is always held responsible, in spite of who the driver is, makes any basis for a fine legally suspect to me. If innocent until proven guilty still had a basis in the administration of law, these devices wouldn't work.
