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."

The od thing is I have never seen a police car pulled over for speeding. However I have been passed many many times by police cars with their families in the car as I was driving 5 mph over the posted speed limit. They have gone by me like I was sitting still.
Many police officers work under the tought that laws and rules are for other people and not them. I know officers that work under this way of life. This does not lend respect to them from many other people
I started this thread to let people know where they were very highly possible to get a ticket. But since it has gone this way I will glive my personal opinion.
Boy did it go a ways from that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
