This is the kind of thing that gives people a reason to hate traffic cops. So the whole point of the highway patrol is not to patrol the highways, but to set up speed traps? I understand that speeding is inherently more dangerous than not speeding (from a physics point of view), but that shouldn't be the sole focus of traffic enforcement/safety. I'd argue erratic drivers and debris are both more important safety concerns than speeding. I for one would have a lot more respect for traffic cops if they actually moved around and dealt with bad driving where it's needed. And I'm sure mobile cops would be a lot more effective in slowing traffic too.
