As a retired police officer I can tell you by law and definition "speed traps" are illegal. What you really should be saying is that the local police officers are taking up positions along roadways where people are known to speed. I personally see nothing wrong with ticketing people who speed, never in my career did I give a tciket that wasn't deserved. I also love this other load of crap that police officers are out there writing tickets for revenue generation. Not once in my entire career did anyone from the city or police administration tell us to go write tickets so we could generate more revenue. Perhaps if you just slowed down you wouldn't have to worry about the "speed traps."
