However, I see it done too often when a cop just want's to excercise his muscle and cut that light. Cops break the law for the same reason a dog licks his balls--because he can.Sorry, but I still don't know how you know that for sure.

We hashed this out what, 2 weeks ago? Time to let this one die.

I don't agree with the work zone being enforced 24/7 but I don't have any say in the law.
-Pete I read an interesting article in the news clips at work a while back (unfortunately I don't remember the source). But the gist was that, in work zones, people in vehicles were something like 100 times more likely to be killed than highway workers. So the "work zone" speed limits were not really to protect the workers (who are usually behind Jersey walls in any event) but to protect us'ins, who tend to whomp into each other if we have to do something complicated like a lane shift, or to drive between two Jersey walls. So that would explain the 24/7 enforcement of work zone speed limits--it's to protect you.

Then again its so damn expensive here that the $100K probably doesn't go too far.
