I'm sure I'll get tons of down votes but here goes:

Parking tickets [non-moving violations] and property taxes are the primary sources of income for New Haven.

The revenue from moving violations like:

  • speeding tickets
  • running stops / red lights
  • loud mufflers
  • bright lights
  • loud music
  • inspection violations
  • tints

all goes to the state of CT -and this would certainly include red-light cameras.

That is why you pay speeding tickets here:

Versus paying for parking ticket here:

NHPD doesn't care about moving violations because there's no monetary gain for NH. That and the 'quiet quitting' of police forces across the nation that may be attributed to [among other things] COVID and George Floyd.
