Police lobbying for local radar use

The police are lobbying the legislature to allow them to use radar to enforce speed limits: http://www.post-gazette.com/frontpage/2014/06/23/Local-cops-make-case-for-using-Pa-radar-guns/stories/201406230084 This might be a good time to chime in.

Funny how nearly all the comments are about *wanting* to break the law, or feeling put upon by law enforcement when the speed laws are enforced for whatever reason. How is this different from the occasional cyclist rolling a stop sign, the usual complaint whenever a bicycle article is posted? Oh right, cyclists don't cause harm when they do that, but cars do.

I don't do Facebook, but it would be nice if somone went through and calmly pointed out to the people who say "Police should work on real problems," that 35,000 auto deaths a year is kinda like a real problem.
