My take on this is, why hide? The mere presence of a police car typically makes people behave in traffic, and if they don’t then they can still get nabbed. Wouldn’t it be better to be visible and a looming threat without the profit incentive of just getting people for tickets?
Most of them don’t hide. Not really. That bike cop behind the bush is something I’ve never seen. They are almost always in obvious sight, doing exaxtly what you’re suggesting: deterring speeders.
As for the black-on-black markings. Yeah, I wish they were more obvious. Mostly so I can be sure I stay out of their way on the highway.
