However, I'm sure that most drivers, like myself, are wise to the BS tactics of the CPS traffic division. Why can't we criticize that they're obviously not doing it for safety reasons? Especially when we see blatant problem areas that are not being addressed, while they continue to fish in areas that have no concerns, but do happen to have stupid low speed limits?

Well, since the number of tickets given out seem to indicate that folks aren't wise to the speed limit, I'm not sure where this is going. No speeding (or staying to 10 over) means you'll almost never get a ticket, and it'll never be a problem. But apparently even keeping to around 10 over is a big problem for a majority of people?
As well, no matter where CPS sets up, folks will never agree that it's needed or not there. For everyone on here complaining about a certain location, I could probably produce two phone calls from people asking for enforcement there. The number of calls I get about folks speeding through and/or passing someone in a school zone are eye rollingly staggering.
A lot of folks here (on CP) feel that the speed limits are too low (I personally happen to agree), while the overwhelming majority of phone calls I deal with at work are that the speed limits are too HIGH and CPS doesn't do enough enforcement. So no matter where or when they set up, folks are both going to be glad for it, and angry about it.
I can tell you that a large portion of the locations for setup come from the Traffic Service Requests and phone calls we get. Not all, but a large portion of them do. I don't know the criteria for all site selection.
