The 5-0

Last night, I was driving down US 68 when I noticed something that made me a little sick to my stomach to be completely honest. Heading down the highway, I saw a couple of yellow lights off in the distance. As I got closer, I saw that it was a German Twp. cop, hiding behind a bridge with nothing but his yellow lights on. For a driver in the other lane, there would be no way to see him. Obviously, he was trying to catch people speeding down the highway. I was disgusted by the sight to say the least. As a cop, you really have nothing better to do than to try to hide to catch people speeding down the highway? And even then, you don't have the balls to sit in the middle of the highway with your headlights on like any other state highway patrolman? Cops are supposed to be there for protection, but when I see sights like that, I lose faith in cops. When cops like these only care about catching someone speeding down a highway instead of real criminals, do you really feel safe?
