Brief Summary:
Tickets generated by speed cameras should contain location info, be it a road name or neighbourhood when viewing/paying them off.
Detailed Suggestion:
On the screen you see where it lists your speeding tickets an additional column containing either road name/neighbourhood should be added.
The Pros:
The Cons:
Dev time, specifically in the table where tickets are generated, an additional column needs to be added for camera name or location. This then needs to be made visible when people view their outstanding tickets.
Does this suggestion change balance on the server ?
Potentially - Currently targets of vehicle theft have to either rely on the police to find their vehicle for them, get together a search party, or rely on luck. (If they don't have a vehicle tracker). This change would shift the balance more towards to owner of the vehicle, but also encourages smarter criminal behaviour.

Detailed Suggestion:
On the screen you see where it lists your speeding tickets an additional column containing either road name/neighbourhood should be added.
The Pros:
- Mainly QoL, it tells you you exceeded the speed limit by X many mph in a 30/70mph zone, but never "where" which just seems odd.
- If your vehicle gets nicked you can try to track it yourself (opens another RP opportunity) and could mean vehicle thieves drive more considerately, knowing the owner could be tracking them through speeding tickets as well as the police on ANPR hits.
- This would also give thieves a more genuine reason to cut the speed camera wires. (To avoid detection)
- Potentially more realistic, although I accept in the real world some car thieves definitely do rag the hell out of stolen cars whereas some might try to "blend in" with normal traffic to avoid being spotted.
The Cons:
Dev time, specifically in the table where tickets are generated, an additional column needs to be added for camera name or location. This then needs to be made visible when people view their outstanding tickets.
