Plus, don't people tend to drive better when they see a police car nearby? If someone doesn't know the camera even exists, it isn't going to do anything to correct a problem (however temporarily that may be). But if cops are around, people seem to be more alert and less sloppy about driving.

Eh, yes and no. I am amazed at the number of people who still drive like idiots even with a fully marked black-and-white sitting in full view.

Uh, I didn't see it.

Yeah, whatever. Enjoy your ticket. You'd think people would pay attention, but they don't. At least the cameras are visible. They're hard to miss, actually. Big ugly things.
