if it was strictly a safety issue i would applaud it, but this seems to be just more good old revenue enhancement, i can almost see the state licking its lips in anticipation.

"The Kansas Highway Patrol last week began spying on motorists from privately owned big rig trucks. As part of a new, federally funded effort, a state trooper sits in the passenger seat of each truck and operates a set of five video cameras and a radar gun to identify motorists to ticket. The trooper will then contact a patrol car hidden nearby to issue the citation. The program is expected to generate hundreds of thousands of dollars in ticket revenue over the next six weeks."

i don't see anything mentioned about safety here.
