It was 100% revenue collection though, there was another cop sitting on the other end of that town doing the exact same thing.

I saw a video a while back that was made as a joke.

In the video someone shows a 75mph sign on the interstate and says "how fast should you go". Native replies "90"
Then they filter through 65, 60, 55, and every time the answer is "90"

Then they show a small town along a state highway with a sign that says "35" and the native responds "35"

Yes, when you approach a small town on a small highway in Texas, assume the speed will drop from whatever 75, 70, 65 speed limit down, probably to 35 in the middle of town, and assume that there are cops waiting to give folks a ticket for speeding through said town.
