Big difference to me is that Ive never heard of anyone profiting from speeding. Not all but many of the habitual poachers and rule breakers are doing it to make money off of the fish either through the commercial markets or the black market. Most crimes that are done for financial benefit (stealing, embezzlement, fraud, securities violations etc...) have very stiff penalties.
