Why should a police officer warn you that they are about to clock your speed? I don't understand why they even need to park in an obvious spot or make themselves seen.

Eh, how about because being seen is the one way to guarantee that drivers slow down? Oh yeah, I forgot. They don't want to you to slow down. They want to catch you speeding, which 99.9% of cars do regularly, so they can take your money. There is NOTHING wrong with going with the flow of traffic, which is what makes speed limits so ridiculous, especially since they are only used to get money out of people. When I was a kid in NJ, sometimes we saw state troopers driving the speed limit with their lights on and a huge 55mph speed limit sign on the back of their cars. THAT's how you get folks to slow down. And as ridiculous as I thought that was, at least it was a real effort to slow down cars. Dressing up like Santa's helpers or homeless people to snag cars does not slow down a single car. But it does raise money.
