Please define a speed trap for us. Or at least what you think one is. If I remember correctly you have stated in the past that you have been a police officer correct me if I am wrong. If I am correct then that would be what most police officers would state as long as they are not getting the ticket. I think the average person would think when they see many tickets being written in the same place that they would call it a trap. I do agree if you are speeding and you get a ticket it is your fault.
To many of us who have never written a ticket we perhaps would call them a trap. I would think that if they are in the same spot frequently then that is a trap.
If I were a trapper I would put my traps where I would think the animals would frequent. To me they are going to a good traping area or they wouldn't frequent that area. I know that these places are not the only places people speed.
My reason for letting people know is to let them know that if they speed that there is a good chance that they will get caught. Not that the police are wrong to give tickets. That is why I try to drive the speed limit. I assure you that more people pass me that I pass.
