Speed Trap in the middle of nowhere

[speedball jr.]

In all fairness when I first started, I worked traffic on a motorcycle for many years in my department, I have to say you would be shocked at how many drivers (yes bikers too), that rocket through residential neighborhoods on a daily basis at deadly speeds without any concern for the safety and welfare of its residents, these are the same roads where children walk to and from school. In doing what we do we can prevent deaths and serious injuries on those roads, not to mention how many drivers that are under the influence especially during community events.

As with year round tourist related events down here, when people are on vacation in addition to being in a rental vehicle, they think they can throw care to the wind and act totally different than they do at home.

Yes, I can understand how some might think road policing is sneaky but it is not.

The proof is in the numbers. People are still crashing, they are just safer doing so.

What we do lowers speed along the entire corridor and further reduces the likelihood of a deadly or serious injury crash.

If you have sustained, saturated enforcement, consistently over time, it will effectively change behavior. Random enforcement doesn't do anything but just issue tickets.

Driving speeds around speed enforcement zones drop by 40 to 60 percent.

If you get a speeding ticket when passing one of these speed enforcements, you simply got caught. Entrapment, on the other hand, is when someone creates a set of circumstances to get you to commit a crime you would otherwise not commit...

Kinda like you buying that bike?

I won't fight this one because it's so far from home . But in the past I've gotten out of dozens of them by fighting it in court.

If yours is close enough that you aren't likely to get another ticket en route, stick it to them !!

Actually no, not the case at all, one thing has nothing to do with the other and who says I'm buying it?

You sound like someone whos still bitter about getting his last speeding ticket...

Most people don't realize, going to traffic court is an excellent idea, a lot of the time an officer can not report for the case so you win by default and if he/she does, most times the judge will either reduce or void the ticket all together...

Giving up the trade secrets

No big secret, I'm glad to help the members here if I can.

Its like anything, you have to experience things yourself to know what's really going on, I got tickets in my youth just like everybody else...

Don't want to stray off topic, but there are a lot of people who disregard the lives of others. Got this video from @cdogg556 and these asswipes driving a couple feet away from man lifts at the speeds they are going deserve a lot more than just a ticket..
Sorry for the poor quality...

Yeah you are right Doug, like someone else I know said, set up a camera and pull them over up the road a mile or so, traffic fines are doubled in construction zones, that night alone they could have thicked hundreds of people, alot of construction workers have been killed like that.
