Director Barrett is not a stupid man. I'm sure he has worked a long time to get to the position he is in. He is not going to let his reported remarks be used against him.

He has no political choice but to vigorously enforce this law, if adopted. So I would expect speed traps at the places where speed are easy to measure and with good chance of success at court. Since there are people who will fight and win against some of these tickets, the MP will fight back with volume.

No bureaucrat wants to be called on the carpet. When his boss says "you didn't want this law" he's going to say "here is the proof I'm doing my job" and he will have a bushel of convictions from 46 mph up.
