Would they be considered a type of outsourcing law enforcement or come under another type category?
Generally, I'm against privately run prisons as well.

Privatization of Justice has had a ridiculously detrimental impact on the legal system as a whole. When corporations profit from others' crimes, they pass the incentives on to legislators when it comes to keeping their noses in our business. They then pass the cost on to us as tax payers.

Well, the highlighted statement made me laugh. So, you get one of those things in the mail. You call them to contest it. You get told that a supervisor will contact you. Doesn't happen. You call back, and they apologize and repeat that a supervisor will contact you. Again, that never happens. So, you write them a letter detailing why you are contesting it. You never get an answer back. There is a set amount of time to contest the red light fine, and when it goes past that, they send it to collections. There is NO court, just some company doling out fines based on their (IMHO) rigged machines. At this point, you can guess how I know.
This is why they should be illegal. All they are is a way for government to abuse subjects - err I mean citizens.
Outsourcing law enforcement, at any level, to a private entity is a no no.
