One cop issues 150,000 speeding tickets

On a typical day, he issues 60 tickets.

Doing the math, if he is working an eight hour day, that means he is issuing one ticket every eight minutes. Is that possible? I don't know how the police delegate responsibilities, but I would not have guessed that any had the full-time task of picking up speeders.

The town mayor estimates that he has *generated* (his word, not mine) seven figures worth of money.
