Hi David, my brother in Law is a copper and I know Oz is different to the U.K. but we also have speed guns (read revenue collectors) and bad guys.
I can assure you that my B.I.L. and 99% of his colleagues would much rather be chasing the bad guys than stuck behind a speed gun. Overtime or not.
The problem in Oz is simple, the State Government's who the Cops work for want the revenue. Catching a bad guy and sending him to the slammer costs revenue. Catching you and me speeding raises revenue and lots of it.
