I once lived at a location where police frequently radar enforced an exceedingly low speed limit. When I noticed them I would place :"Speed trap ahead" signs long side the road to warn drivers. A few times I was threatened with arrest for "obstructing. I would point out that by placing those signs I was increasing public safety because all those who were speeding slowed down when they saw the signs.. Te only thing I was obstructing was the revenue generated from tickets issued.

[@fw1421]

Nicola Cundiff police don’t serve. When was the last time you saw a cop actually help someone?

[@carni4873]

So what should the outcome be when a LEO stops someone for a moving violation?

[@ihearttheconstitution3717]

They said it's about reducing crime with police presence. As they are sitting in their unmarked cars.

So that's what Slim Shady Live at 8 Mile

[@supremekingjesus425]

Nobody: not a single soul Google Maps: there's a speed trap ahead Me: thank you 👌

[@andrewtaylor5492]

Half the time they arent even there anymore lol. Well atleast for me they rarely are

[@charleebrown7188]

Putting their cruisers into trafficking so often is 10 times more detrimental to trafficking safety than any of these speed "violations" could ever be.

[@spacekat4129]

This is well known and yet still happens. Government doesn't work for us.

[@JR-ee2xj]

Civil servants? Or Pirates?

[@Dakotatrails]

more like sovereign citizens

[@WmTRiker]

_"If they're just driving from point "A" to point "B", they're supposed to follow the same traffic laws as anyone else."_ 100% correct. However, cops view themselves as sovereign citizens, even though they'd never admit it and tend to view people who know and stand up for their own rights as sovereign citizens. "Sovereign citizen" is defined as a person who doesn't believe the laws apply to _them._ This is an excellent description of cops, not people who know and want to _obey_ the law.

The chief spilled the beans on his way of thinking: if the locals did the work the locals should get the revenue.

[@Haoi1216]

We freaking need these in chicago, infact we need these in every major cities across the US.

[@jeremiahdssdentmorgan3341]

We DO NOT need "speed traps" whatsoever you idiot !!!

[@bird718]

the ticket money should go to homeless shelters

[@billcoley8520]

bird718 Yea I agree. Buy them port a potty. So they don’t crap on sidewalks

[@tomlemke4153]

You need to go to Rosendale Wisconsin they are very bad pick you up for 2 miles an hour over the speed limit there again it's all about money

[@brucemiller1696]

Back in the 80s, i told cop i had bigger wheels on my car and acted dumb. Asked if that changes the speedometer. He said yes and let me go.

When you live in a country RAN by criminals,,, THEY make what they do Legal and what you do ILLEGAL !!!

[@markvolpe2305]

Hold signs 1/4 mile back from the trap stating there's a speed trap ahead. Someone actually did that awhile back and didn't get in trouble for it.

[@ucnhtmenow1]

These departments know all the locations in the city where the speed limit drop from 45 to 25 and back to 45 within a block. You don't even have time to slow down before the cops are pulling you over. I was working on a side of town that was just being developed and they literally put a magnetic speed limit sign that was 25mph over a 35mph and a bike cop hid behind a sign. After about 2 hours, he took it down and left. I wish camera phone's were prevalent back then.

[@climber950]

Did anyone write the cop a ticket for speeding? Or suspend him? He probably wrote lots of tickets that day for people going wore than he was while not responding to an emergency.

[@preston121068]

Though the reporter said the cop was speeding, why didn't he film it? I mean he had a camera right there... The Media is no longer news, it's pure commentary and agenda.

[@MrTommyboy68]

To preston: Doesn't matter if you have video, LIDAR or radar showing the police officer committing a violation, YOU WILL lose and your life will be Hell.

[@thickhoneybun5258]

It’s called getting the quota lol 😂 I know how they work

[@Doyouwannaridefor75]

U think that’s bad Georgia is full of them 😂

[@lukemilner9787]

It's disgusting. They do it in Spain. On the motorway it's 120km/h all the way (70mph) and despite the road not changing at all for no apparent reason the limit changes to 100km/h and just a few yards after the sign there's a speed camera. Just after it goes back up to 120km/h 😤😤😤

[@thomasspringer5187]

There's four elements for speeding tickets to be issued: 1). must be an accident. 2). Must be injured, harmed , or damaged victim. 3). Must be a properly filed claim or complaint by the victim ( if a death, by a family member) . 4). A determination of a reasonable man's opinion of a responsible speed in a given scenario. This is where you give notice that you wish the codification of the law be unrolled and read into the record...

[@richardjackson6077]

20 seconds in and I'll tell you they all about the money.

[@niconestra]

Traffic safety or raising revenue? What do you think?

[@bigs9030]

News Flash!!! It's Not a "Trap" if you don't SPEED.

[@Shorty_Lickens]

I wish all traffic and parking tickets went directly into road work and nothing else. That should be like a federal law or something.

[@adammcgirt7123]

The last part said it all. The ppl will complain, but never do anything about it. The scary part is I feel like the battle is already won.

[@olsmokey5256]

Im Canadian,, I live in Canada.. We Speed here all the time. Speeding is just a way of life here. We do like 20, 30 over ALL the time and there's usually no speed enforcement.

[@ItsTimePictures]

I drive a black Mercedes. A 30 year old 500 SEC. Kind of a beastly looking car and I am constantly finding police behind me. Many have pulled me over fishing for something (I know my rights and politely decline to talk). I pay strict attention to speed limits so that I don’t get a ticket. Thankfully some of the local police are now leaving me alone because I met them at a meet and greet late last year, introduced myself by handing over two dozen donuts and asked them if they could please recognize my car (it’s the only one in the county) and cut me some slack. Now they typically wave at me when I drive by. How sad we need to bribe cops with donuts to catch a break.

[@vxCOCOxv]

Come to Edmonton, Alberta. Canada. We have many, MANY, MANY photo radar cameras, undercover vehicles and objects, red light cameras (1 second in the intersection while red will cost you $345) and speed traps EVERYWHERE. I live 20 mins out of town, and they hide their vehicles behind trees/ obstructions where you can get dinged going 5km/hr over the speed limit.

[@chrisclark5204]

The curve on I 275 between Eureka Rd and I 94 is where a cop always is. I believe it's always Romulus City cop and not State Police. I think the one they showed was on Eureka Rd. The speed limit on Eureka between Wayne Rd and Middlebelt Rd is 55.

[@MrCosmos110]

1) A traffic citation is issued 2) The proceeds go straight to the capitol city of that state 3) Where ever that money goes from there, it must never find it's way back to the county where it originated, in any shape, form or fashion. PROBLEM SOLVED Until the "Auto Insurance Companies" can figure a way to get their profits back on track.

[@bigbunny6573]

Do tell, how does one impede traffic by speeding?

[@akoww1000]

If you get a ticket in a known speed trap area, Don't pay it but ask for a court date. About two weeks before your court date call the courts and ask for a delay and try to get it at least three months or more away. Then a few weeks before that court date try to get it delayed again. Just say you can't take off work or you have to go out of town. the longer you can put it off the better. But should be able to get at least one to two delays. So, when you go the chance of the officer showing up will be slim But if he does he won't remember you or anything about that day. you will get to ask him questions, ask him about the weather that day, how many people he pulled over for speeding, ask him if he remembers what your car looked like inside and out, what you were wearing, etc. How often does he use that spot as a speed trap? There is a big guide online on this and should look it up

[@carvercapitalequitypartner122]

Needs a speed survey to determine an appropriate speed limit. That speeding cop was in a rush to write more tickets.

[@Tylnorton]

Speed traps are nothing but a cashcow. While I was guilty of speeding, I was pissed when I got pulled over because my town had a very busy event and drivers are always on their phones and running red lights, and people are always crossing. Instead the officers on the bike decided to speed trap near my house. They cared about revenues and taking money from its own residents over safety. Stupid thing is my brother got pulled over 13 minutes prior.
