Look, if a cop is on hand to witness an unsafe pass, his/her word is enough ... court testimony from a cop carries a good bit of weight. And mostly, if there is a cop around, drivers are extra-cautious anyway.

The "enforcement" question is more for the 99.999 % of the time when there is no cop around. Look, the 3-foot rule would be more than adequate---if all motorists observed it. The ones who ignore three would ignore five, I posit.

I am not against the law, but i don't see where it will change much.
I could be mistaken, but I believe what CB HI is talking about is similar to a DUI checkpoint, or a "speed trap" where there is one cop with a radar gun and another cop in a car to chase down the speeders.
