To me, if you know your area fairly well and know where the cops like to hide, it's not necessary to have one. If you take long trips via the highway across the state, it can be quite beneficial; as it has saved my rear a few times!

Wrong.

I take the same way home every day. For the first time in a year of driving home this way at 0800, I saw a state trooper where there had been none before.

Cops may not all be shining examples of blazing intellect, but even a backassward hillbilly knows how to hunt a deer, and setting up to hunt motorists isn't much different. Sometimes you move the deer stand.

Yes, indeed. Remember, too, that catching speeders and such is one of their prime obeectives and many troopers, etc., put a great deal of thought and practice into it.
