More time wasted protecting us from ourselves when they should be investigating violent and other crimes against actual people.

I am generally opposed to speed trapping for a number of very good reasons Tom, but some of the Bridge work apparently created an uneven zig-zaggy section. There were a number of serious accidents in that spot earlier this year, so I suppose that's why they are watching it closely.

Now staking out stop signs in Danville or Alamo, yep, that's a waste of resources.

Speeding is a violent crime. A fellow high school graduate of my son was in a car on the Bay Bridge several years ago that was rear ended by a speeder. The young man was killed. You can call it an accident but by all measures it was manslaughter.
