Anybody else seeing more speed traps?

Just curious-

Our little 1-stoplight, podunk town used to see a speed trap once a month or so. Ever since the massively publicized ECONOMIC MELTDOWN OF DOOM I've been seeing a lot more- in the past two weeks, they've been out there raising revenue no less than four times

Is it like this everywhere?

Yep I've seen a whole bunch more lately

went to San Antonio and back this week. TX and OK were running radar like crazy. TX had more people pulled over.

Can't say that I have.

Yep...they have doubled the school zone radars too(minimum fine 275.00)...but if you pay attention, there are a couple of places where you can find out where the radar will be the night before.

Several LEO's I know say they are now being pressured to write tickets, and they weren't before

I see them alot here...right where you get off the interstate. They are crushing motorists. But they aren't getting me. I know they are there. Fuck heads.

yep same here. Live 30 miles from anywhere yet the county boys are sitting hard every day looking to make a little coin for the gubment.
