Back the Blue: Why do cops use unmarked cars to enforce speed limits?

Because it’s about collecting another form of tax

Cops are just the enforcers of the government mafia

The scumbag cops around Welsh know that very well.

Speeds limits are supposedly there to keep us safe. Wouldn’t more people slow down and everyone ‘be safer’ if more drivers saw the police cars enforcing the speed limit?

Fair point.

some police departments actually see it that way. Others simply see it as a revenue source.

Here's the deal....

Tax collectors with a gun.

Stand a couple of hundred feet upstream from the speed trap with a sign that says “COPS AHEAD!” and almost every car will slow to the speed limit. A hidden cop will normally only stop cars going a good deal over the limit and most drivers never even see the cop and continue to drive between 5-10 mph over.

And no one will hassle you for promoting public safety, right?

Police revenue should never be tied to law enforcement activities as it creates a perverse incentive to prioritize revenue collection over public safety.

Traffic stops are the most dangerous common interaction for police officers with citizens for both the officer AND the citizen. Considering how dangerous it is to pull someone over/be pulled over, it is my opinion that traffic stops should not be initiated unless the activity of the motorist is such a clear danger to others that the motorist must be removed from the road to prevent potential harm to others. People who are pulled over should be taken to jail, not ticketed, because if they were so dangerous that they needed to be pulled over to stop their operation of their vehicle, they’re too dangerous to allow to continue operating it.

Disguised cop cars running speed traps are nothing more than highway robbers hiding behind a badge.
