Don't officers testify in court during their off hours/days, thereby getting OT? Interesting incentive, if true.

I doubt they get overtime pay for court appearances... No doubt its scheduled far in advance.

I would think that many go fast boaters, in light of the kind of money that they have to pour down their gas tanks, would rather just pay the fine and have it all over with. Having to go spend a day in court....now that's a real disincentive to speed.

You are correct in many respects, however now that it is linked to your MVR and they are not issuing fines, only summons where you have to appear. Paying the fine isn't that simple.
