Why do cops have to be visible if they are radar gunning people?

I've seen everything from mail jeeps, to telephone and power company trucks, to ice cream vending vehicles used as radar sites as well as officers shooting from concealment on overpasses. Unless your state/jurisdiction happens to have some kind of quirky law on this subject, they aren't required to be visible.

Can a cop hide and use radar?
Cops hide to give out tickets and so the town collects money. How many tickets would they write if they were sitting in plain view? I thought cops were supposed to serve and protect.....LOL yeah, right. Cops think they can do whatever they want and get away with it...and they can IF we citizens let them. Stand up for what is lawful and moral. They are too many rogue arrogant cops doing getting away with evil acts.
Do cops have radar?
Traffic "Cops" use FMCW radar, as they can be very low power and work off batteries. LADAR is also used and this makes the beam much narrower as the wavelength is higher, it should be more accurate but is more likely to suffer from atmospherics. Yes, for speed metering. Radar can be detected by consume hardware, which is illegal in many states. Most police forces have moved to laser because it is more accurate, is difficult for a speeder to contest in court, and is almost impossible to detect until it's too late.
How do you avoid speeding tickets?
Not to sound blunt, but I would recommend not speeding to begin with. Don't speed? Slow down. Do it when the cops aren't around or you can also get a radar detector.
Do cops have to be visible at night when they are radaring?
Although they DO have reflective clothing to protect them when working in hazardous locations or situations during hours of darkness and in inclement weather - as a routine matter - they are not required to be any more visible at night than their uniforms and marked patrol vehicles make them during the daylight hours.
Do cops arrest people for no reason?
No. Cops do not arrest people for no reason. They arrest people for doing crime. If you be good, cops(police officers) will not arrest you.
