All about revenue ehh? Lets do the math shall we...
Lets say troopers make approx. $36K a year $36,000 / 52 weeks = $692.31 weekly salary $692.31 / 40 hours = $17.31 hourly 8 troopers for an 8 hour shift cost $1107.84 in labor Fleet fuel and vehicle maintenance costs... $40 dollars in fuel per cruiser for 250 miles (V8s and lots of idle time) .25cents per mile in maintenance (very conservative estimate) so 250 miles would be $62.5 per cruiser 8 cruisers would be $820.00 worth of fuel and maintenace The plane would prolly cost $400.00 or more a shift to fly when you think about aviation fuel, pilot salary, plane depreciation and maintenance. Clerk salary to process the tickets lets say 40 man hours at $9.00 an hour... $360.00 Court personnel salaries for those who do contest the tickets... 8 hours at various pay rates... Prosecution $192 Public defender $192 Bailiff $96 Judge $248 Stenographer $72 Clerk $72 For a grand total of... $3559.84 They would have to give everyone a ticket in order for this to work if the road is as vacant as described... |

well i dont dispute those numbers but dont they have to pay those guys anyway? its not like they hired those guys just to setup a speed trap. its more like they had those guys in a speedtrap instead of casing donut joints for sales
|
They might have to pay OTHER guys overtime to do the real policing in the meantime though.
You've got 10 guys ensuring the hell outta the public safety on this 1/2 mile, what about the rest of the county? |
just to let everyone know who didnt... planes arent using radar or laser most of the time. usually they time you from point a to point b. like between mile markers or something. that way they are undetectible
|
Damn Jim, thats pretty fucked up...my and the gf were jut talking about that **** last night.
[o/t]Could be worse though, you could have gotton a letter from the state stating your license is suspended for 30 daze b/c you went over the 12 point limit 4 years ago...then get a letter 1 month later telling you that you have to get SR-22 insurance... https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png [/o/t] |

Average ticket = $100 x 20 = $2000 - their gas/wages/wear on car ect ect for that hour = $1960 profit in an hour. So the figures can be worked that way too. |
