I don't make North of 150, don't look at me. And also it's 490 on top of his base salary, which is already higher than mine to start with.

But also he's transparently not actually working those overtime hours, so he is not "doing something useful". Like a lot of cops, he's just draining public money pretending to work. Unfortunately this is not uncommon. Anyone reporting 80 hours of overtime in a week should really be looked into - 23 hours in a day the same. Even if someone actually was awake and in theory working that long, they shouldn't be allowed to, and should be required to go home after some cap of hours to actually be able to usefully work. I would put it at 10 hours a day personally.
