The idea that the money will go to the county, roads, improvements, and safety is laughable at best.

You misunderstand, these systems are deployed by the county/locality, money goes directly to the county, no chance for the state to intercept it. Now how they spend ifs up to them

Well, around here, it's just one tier down; but same kinda crap. The County Comissioners use the money the county gets, for their own pet projects.

I'd love to be proven wrong in this case.

Not at all. How they use the money is spent on a county level is not controlled by the state. If your county has no accountability, not sure what you can do
