deterring people from doing the offense' - is usually a better option than busting them after the fact. (unless in fact you're going after revenue ... which all of us kind of hope is not the LE objective? ) Keep yourself visible!

I really kind of like the practice of some departments stationing 'dummy' cars at strategic places in their jurisdiction.
It does deter ... And for my money ... Smart policing!
