I have a mixed feeling about this.

On one hand, having law enforcements make money for private organizations sound really terrible; on the other hand, letting people get away with breaking rules will create a terrible culture that I experienced first hand.

A bit on the later, if the rules are too strict, or punishment(fines) too high, then rules should be challenged/modified. Whereas if you create very strict rules, but only enforce it selectively, either due to officer's personal judgement or lack of policing resources, it creates incentive for police officers to become corrupt, less deterrent for people breaking rules and making bad rules more tolerable (because most people do not get personally affected).
