No- tax avoidance.
Tax evasion is against The Law and generally frowned upon, but tax avoidance is encouraged (well, it is if you are rich anyway)

So why do they exist?
Money from speeding fines at a guess. It's not unusual for police to be on the stretch of road with a camera.
The particular bit of road I'm referring to is the A65 between Viaduct road and the A58 https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@53.8021059,-1.5703381,16zZebras rock0 -
I must say it is all very well introducing these fines, but, who will enforce them? Police budgets have been reduced severely, North Wales Police used to be very pro active, and indeed they stand by that statement if you look at their lets say manifesto the Fatal Five.
