They are a scam. That's right, I said it.

IBTL!!!

I actually agree with speed traps being nothing but revenue generating tools. I think most people feel that way. That said, I know the gamble, if I am speeding and I get caught then I take the ticket and pay it, it's the price of doing business.

On another note, but brother has been a police officer in St Louis for almost 8 years. During that time he has been shot at, bitten, spit on, choked, cut etc etc. He hates writing speeding tickets and rarely does. He was a big street biker for many years so he has let many people off when they were acting like idiots. He has also won several awards for major drug busts as well as saving the life of an old woman. He also boxes every year to raise money for charity. So DO NOT accuse all police officers of being power abusing ego-maniacs, as it is not true. Are there dirty cops? Sure, just like there are law breaking lawyers, judges, military personnel and so on. The bad decisions of a few shouldn't bring down the rest.
