In Europe, it's exactly because they want witnesses, cops' words don't carry more weight than yours by default, so if they ticket you, they want at least two testimonies on their side.

Okay, but in the US they don't want to risk two cops messing up their witness testimony. Better to just have one, because a cop's word is law anyway.

That sounds like even their leaders assume they're horribly stupid...
