Why would they be using multi-million pound aircraft, costing how many thousands to run, just to monitor speeders?
because they can get you without you even knowing about it,meaning they can collect speeding drivers without even the slightest whiff to them that they've been nobbled.

they have a special Radar and a special ANPR system that can read your number plate 700ft+

they have been doing it in Essex for quite some time and even have signage that warns you of airborne traffic enforcement.

they spot you speeding they follow for a bit then pass you onto a traffic police car in the Area then they pull you over if your super over the top speeding wise.

although just recently there have been a lot of complaints about the cost of the helicopter (£1,000 ph) to run for this purpose but if you think about it all it has to do is hover for an hour over a buisy motorway and scan with its hybrid ANPR RADAR and catch 16 cars per hour and anything over that is pure profit.
