“Now, I highly doubt you are going to find a police officer in some sort of camouflage outfit or a ghillie suit, but they can place themselves in a manner that is not to be readily seen by the speeding traffic,” he said.

Trooper Steve says there are no laws that restrict police enforcement and indicate that they should not “hide.”
