Cop says speeding more important than crime

A leading Californian traffic cop told the Los Angeles Times that catching speeds is more important than fighting crime. "When people ask me why aren't you out arresting bad guys, I tell them this is more important than fighting crime," he told the newspaper. He has worked in traffic enforcement for 10 years, and doesn't plan to change jobs any time soon. Throughout the article, Chris Knox boasts how he can catch even the most clever speeders. He claims he can estimate speed within a few miles per hour by looking in his rearview mirror, and once he spots a speeding car, he turns on his radar gun and clocks them. He says this technique limits the effectiveness of radar detectors.
