Elkhart probably does have a deficit problem and a percentage of all citations goes into the City General fund, however it is divied up, and a lot of it gets back to the PD to pay for overtime and other items needed.
However, with that in mind, back up your thoughts, and just be very observant the next time you are out and count how many violations or acts of stupicity you see in a two block area. I think this will answer your questions. Just try to be a good driver and be courteous to other drivers. You may feel like you are being taken advantage of, BUT you will feel better.
Have a Good Day
