Good to see they are concentrating on the worst kind of crimes!!
Who would I rather they put resources into, more police on the streets, investigate serious crimes burglaries etc or invest in catching someone speeding I wonder.
If they invested as much money and time into other crimes I’m sure the majority would be happy. If we got to a point with low crime then yes move down the scale of infringements of the law.

Mixed feelings.

I'd happily have one parked on my street permanently.

But I see them more often sat on overpasses pointing at the M18 doing nothing other than nabbing people doing 80 odd.

There's also stories like this one today.

BBC News - Hundreds caught speeding on stretch of M1 - police

They're almost gloating about it. Alongside stories about crackdown on ASB and nuisance ebikes. The kind of stuff I'd expect them to be doing everyday.
