Read in Daily Wail that a bike-mounted cop with a speed gun trousered (for
his employers) ?55,000 in fines in 38 working hours over 19 days. That means
he could pick up over ?1m in a year.
No wonder they can afford ?30K for his bike and kit.
It is more lucrative than having your own clamping business; and legal.

That's ?1447 per hour.

divided by ?60 that is 24 fines per hour. That is one every 2.5 minutes.
Maybe all the biker does is drive up and down the motorway letting his speed
equipment log data on the vehicles he's behind?

?!
The risk of a fine stops some people from speeding. By driving slower,
their risk of death from a car accident is reduced.
