Mayor: "Traffic tickets generate revenue, so we should increase speed traps." Resident: "Speed traps prioritize revenue over safety." Who makes the stronger point?

The correct answer to the question "Mayor: "Traffic tickets generate revenue, so we should increase speed traps." Resident: "Speed traps prioritize revenue over safety." Who makes the stronger point?" is Option B: The resident, because the stated purpose of traffic enforcement should be safety, not revenue generation.

The other options — A) The mayor, because revenue is important, C) Neither — both are equally strong, D) The mayor, because tickets deter speeding — are incorrect for this LSAT Exam Prep question. As explained above: The resident identifies a problematic prioritization. Traffic enforcement exists for safety; using it primarily for revenue undermines its legitimate purpose.
