First off Cops are government workers. Government workers are usually the last to get laid off in a pinch. But with tax revenue down cops are going to be out in bigger force taking tickets. Maybe less street patroling and more sitting on the side of hte road. Cars use less gass idling than they do moving.

But I have seen cop patrols up big time lately. Infact if you are coming into Atlanta. On I-285 near Doraville that town lost a GM manufacturing plant. Major loss for that town. But they control a 1/4mile stretch of I-285 on the inside lanes. They patrol that badboy full force everyday. Don't even go the speedlimit. Go either 200mph or 40mph.
