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... [/o/t]

BTW try some decaf and relax dawg its just a little NP fun
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.
