I spend most of my time looking for drunks because I work nights. Most of the drunks I get on the Interstate are cars I pull out after for speeding. Biggest dope bust I've had to date was for a speeding stop. Call the system arbitrary, but it works that way. The goal is to gain voluntary compliance. Some people will realize the goal just by having my lights on in their mirror and do not need a ticket. Some people will only slow down if you hit their wallets. Its my goal to talk to people on stops and figure out which one they are. Sometimes they even fall into a category that requires jail for the things they have in their cars or the things they put in their bodies.
European speed cameras do get people to slow down...When they see cameras. All the local commuters, who are the worst speeding violators I run into, know where the cameras are, slow down for them, then pick it right back up.
