I stand by my statement that it is easier to point your arm out a window than do real enforcement that would actually lead to safer roads.

Most patrol / traffic cops have the easiest job in the world. Working 3-4 days a week, with mandatory overtime, and 3-4 days off. Every job should be so easy and so well paid.
I don't buy that "they put their lives on the line" BS either. When is the last time anyone heard of a cop being the victim of a crime? Real people are the victim of many, many more crimes than the police. Cops are also the ONLY citizens permitted to carry a weapon of their choice nationwide. The ordinary people are left defenseless, without immunity and without a paid legal defense. Does anyone really think the cop is more at danger in a neighborhhod like Compton or Watts than the ordinary person? Last I looked, many more regular people were victims of crimes than cops in these areas.
