Default 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...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
