They are hiding behind their badges and hold NO position of honor, rather like Barney Fife or sheriff Rutherford B Justice!
First of all, it was Waldo that disbanded its police department. The speed reduction signs are not small, they are not that closely spaced, and there is not an officer at each increment. Say what you want, it is very effective. It's pretty black & white - if you think you're above the law and want to ignore the speed limit, then get a ticket, and complain about it.
