Florida highway cops are now using a plane pilot to watch traffic from above and catch drivers over the speed limit, like birds of prey.

Florida Highway Patrol pilots could now be seen 2,000 feet above Florida’s Turnpike – high enough where drivers have no idea the agency had an eye in the sky geared toward speed enforcement.

Anyone going over 60 mph risks getting a fine sent down to them from up above.

“It’s just one more method that we use to assure that people obey and respect the speed limits on our state roads,” FHP spokesman Joe Sanchez told NBC Miami.
