It seems a lot of you have an unfair prejudice against law enforcement officers in general. That's to be expected. Nobody likes to be told that they are wrong, and that's a police officer's job on a daily basis. Police officers do catch reckless drivers. They can't sit at every stop sign and wait for laws to be broken, just like they can't sit on every stretch of every highway and catch people breaking the speed limit.
You might be the best driver in the world, but you can't speed up your reaction time if you are greatly exceeding the speed limit. Sure, you can probably drive your vehicle safely at 100 MPH on an empty stretch of road, but how are you supposed to avoid the deer crossing the road or the furniture that fell from the back of someone's truck (yes, it has happened)?
Guess who has to walk up to your vehicle after it's been wrecked because you were being stupid and has to look at the bloody remains of your family and friends. That's right: Police officers. There are bad apples in every profession, but these guys have a tough job and they only enforce the law for your own safety.
