Now that's a strange post. Any LEO worth his/her salt goes looking for bad guys. And it makes no difference whether it's traffic enforcement or other duties. To suggest that makes non-LEO's "prey" is ridiculous.

Cops are not firefighters...they are proactive...if they are doing their duty properly. (This is not meant in any way to be disrespectful to firefighters...I love them...and would be too scared to do what they do!)

Sure, people tend to obey the law when there are LEO's in their sight; it's what they do when they think no one is watching is what is important.

Each and every day I was on the street I was looking for trouble...and to solve problems. You cannot do either whilst sitting in the station.

When driving non-traditional vehicles it was simply a delight to deal with those who said: "I didn't know you were a cop!"

Suspect the poster is anti-law enforcement of any sort.

Be safe.
