Saying stuff like "the most effective method of attack is not letting your enemy know where you will attack from" is just retarded. The general public aren't the enemy... Cops are supposed to be out there to "serve and protect" the general public, not to hide in ghost cars, bushes, behind bus stops, light posts, etc. and write tickets for going 15 over with the flow of traffic. Ghosts cars are only useful for collecting money, that's all
people who slow down and drive well ONLY when they see cop cars are the ones you DO want to catch, because they will be driving like idiots 99% of the other time. Now that it is less easy to spot cop cars, hopefully these reckless drivers will be more cautious, the majority of the time.

Like someone posted earlier, if you are driving with due care, you should be fine. Even for things that most people think are "minor" like not using your signal light, you are risking getting a ticket. How lazy are you that you can't even flick a switch to activate your signal.
