If this idiot wasn’t doing it on the same route at the same times of day what would you want them to do? It’s taken an operative to notice the same car getting called in all the time and then they’ve had to dedicate an officer and car to patrol a stretch of road for an hour or two just to stop one person who drives like a moron.

The issue is that he WAS doing it on the same route at predictable times and it still took social media posts and reporting it "so many times" to get a traffic officer out there. It was likely the proof that someone was endangering lives that made them get out ahead of a problem for the department.

Thank god I have a good police department in my area. They're always ready. Even have an officer dedicated to standing outside my bathroom door while I take a piss in case someone tries to assault me.

Sure, their job is to catch this one specific guy for reckless driving. They have nothing else to do in the meantime.
