My question remains: Is stopping a driver on the side of a road for an infringement considered an emergency?
I would expect the police in such a case to stop drivers where it is SAFE to do so!
It has been rightly critisied that suddenly having to slow down from 110-40 on highways can cause more accidents especially in dense traffic, tailgating trucks, etc and the trail can go back kilometers, long before you see the flashing cop car.
This is of course justified if there is a real EMERGENCY but is this kind of high risk revenue grabbing considered an emergency, justifyng not only the risk to the officers but everybody travelling on that stretch of road?
And why this pathetic high risk HollyWood Cop car chasing speedsters one by one and and force stopping them at all?
If they want to collect real revenue just have a mobile speed CAMERA hiding on the side collecting all the data and an infingement notice with photo sent by mail.
