Are the Cops doing their job?

Past two days, the cops were standing around, during the daytime around the roads in KL (this is a good sign lol) though they could be positioned at better places such as PJ area. There was a lockup at the Rothmas roundabout in PJ and there weren't any cops to control the traffic there. Oh how it took me ages to reach to me favourite pork mee in Sea Park from me office :(.

The cops are also conducting roadblocks everywhere during the night and performing random checks on certain cars that looks suspicious. I got held up in Kuchai Lama as well. Searched my whole car and found nothing fortunately.

Speed traps and issuing speeding summonses on the spot at hotspots around the country is a good idea, but how many of them are issued with 'real' summonses? If you get what I mean.

Pros : People stop driving recklessly when they see cops around
Cons : Pocket Monehhhhhh

Solution : Suggest that the higher authorities reward these goons with incentives for every summon issued to motorists. Higher incentives for summonses that involves lane hogging, lane changing without indicators, and reckless driving.

Speeding should not be an issue when one does not drive recklessly (zig zagging in and out of traffic). They should be considered two different categories.
