"But then you'd probably complain that the cops aren't pulling more of these people over. No different from most people, you applaud when some idiot drivers makes an incredible stupid and/or dangerous move and get's pulled over for it, but when you do it and get caught, it's all the evil cops fault."

I don't think it's too much to ask for them to seek out the people who are actually driving dangerously instead of following someone until they catch them doing something wrong just because they need to meet some sort of quota. Or hiding their car in the brush to catch people when it would be better to put their car in plain sight since that acts as a sort of speed bump when people see an officer on the side of the road. Everyone slows down when they see a cop. It's just a reflex. That would help more than the hide and seek games.

Around where I live, there's a section of highway that goes from 55mph to 45mph and cops park an unoccupied cruiser in a store parking lot on weekends. I fall for it every time. And yes, it is in such a location that you do have time to conform to the new speed limit.
