    Because ticketing is a revenue stream.

    What, you thought police ticket people to… protect the general public?

    This will be another revenue stream, where the serial speeders have to pay for the install of the device, and likely an ongoing monthly fee for its continued operation.

      I knew someone who ran a similar program for DUIs.

      It probably wouldn’t be a revenue stream for the government.

      A private company would buy the equipment and charge the government AND the speeder for the costs, maintenance and monitoring.

      Usually when there is a big push for these kinds of enforcement systems, the person pushing for it already has a friend of family member who just happens to do exactly that.
