You ever tried to pull over an entire freeway full of cars at once?

A single cop car on the side of the road can get everybody to magically follow the speed limit.

  That’s really dependant on location. I have had plenty of road trips up and down the I5 where groups of cars pass cops on the side of the road going 80, and no one slows down and the cops do nothing. Source: I’m one of those drivers.

  For a minute, maybe. Foot goes back down when the cop’s out of view in the mirrors.

Not personally, no - but the police would only need to catch a handful each day to get things moving a little more safely in the area.
