Quite the contrary, a lot of politicians do things that are unpopular to their constituents.
A bigger reason for this is simply revenue. If some random state had a law saying all road tickets and drug busts go to schools and housing projects instead of a revenue pot I doubt many local politicians or even state ones would care to pass red light camera rules, handsfree laws, and other unenforceable crimes.
Either way I don't speed. Cops see "yeah! 21 year old in a Benz"! And I'm done.
