You are right about how the companies that install the cameras and review the pictures keep most of the money, but it's worse than that. Nobody in the city or county government wants to figure out what it costs to hear all the cases of all the people who challenge the tickets. From what I've heard, the tickets are almost always dismissed if you tell them you weren't driving the car. After all, how can they prove who was driving it? People drive other people's cars all the time, or family members share cars.
The main cause of wrecks is drivers not paying attention, which is something no automated machine will ever be able to deduce, and the two things that are proven to reduce the accident rate are high gas price and economic depression.
