> You are an idiot, plain and simple. Go talk to a cop and i’m sure they’ll tell you that a staggering number of crimes are solved or prevented by a mundane traffic stop. Do you think crooks obey the speed limit after robbing a bank or killing someone? :wtf: Think a little bit before you judge. Just because you don’t agree with what they are doing doesn’t make you right.

Son of Sam confessed during a traffic stop (I think he had a tail light out) and was quickly arrested, but smart criminals DO obey speed laws.

Just because something prevents crime, doesn’t make it justified. Scruff McGruff prevents crime, maybe we should get people to dress up like him.

But seriously police can be very effective if they’re good at what they do. However, many efforts are a waste of our money and some push the bounds of infringing on our rights. I think that police in disguise busting unsuspecting people for speeding is an example of such an effort. And this isn’t about construction zones, that’s just one place where this covert tactic is implemented.

The statistics prove that higher speed limits do not impact safety in any significant manner. It’s purely about revenues, and since they’re wasting more tax dollars than ever, they need to be even more creative about how to bust people/raise money.
