Random to the motorists, sure. What you’re seeing is most likely a funded deterrence program. Be it for sobriety, seatbelt/child seat use, license/registration/insurance/inspection checks, etc. For whatever reason they are out there, chances are they are trying to correct a growing trend for which they are responsible or they are working on an area with a spiked rise in violations.
Simple example would be speedtraps. A given road is seeing more speed related accidents? They step up enforcement/presence and motorists start paying attention the speed they are driving.
