It just seems like there ought to be a better way of doing the job. They're putting themselves and the public at risk with late night traffic stops.

It would be a lot simpler to sit in the U-turn areas and just light them up at random intervals if they're not out on a call. I've seen a variation on that done on I-95 when the average speed was starting to get to a point that's unsafe. The eighteen wheelers take the cue, bunch up, then gradually bring the speeds down to safer levels.

With a ratio of eight to ten thousand people per one law enforcement officer there's no way he can effectively perform his function without the support of the public.
Most laws are more for revenue collection than safety. Red light cameras make once safe intersections into crash areas that generate money for the gov't.
