im not 100% sure here, but im pretty sure they're personal safety is higher than your concern for their safety.
so a cop is sneaky...would you rather them hide behind a light post with a high visible vest that you can see from 500 yards away??? or perhaps put up a construction sign saying "caution, cop ahead, slow down" gee...thats not a dead give away. if people weren't douches who would learn how to A) not speed. B) wear their seat belts. or C) get off their fucking phones or D) be aware of their current surroundings, they wouldn't have to step out into traffic nearly as much.
also, 90% of the cops I'ive seen who hide behind poles, have another cop a block ahead of them letting them know which car is speeding etc, so they can step out well in advance in a safe manner.
just my 2cents. i find what they do perfectly safe.
