Until the original poster or another interested party can show conclusively that such action is not outside the law, we will error on the side of caution. We won't permit an organized effort to warn of locations of traffic enforcement.
Even if it is deemed to be not illegal, we would still have to decide the value of such a thread and the effect it could have on the overall safety of the community.

What about radar detectors? Aren't they legal in most states? How would warning motorists be "interfering with the duties of a police officer?" Is the reason for the ticket traps for slowing people down and obeying the Law"?
By logic, if the intent is to have citizens obey the law and not just make money, then warning people would make more people slow down and obey the law, right?
What is better? Having thousands of people slow down from people warning each other, or issuing tickets to a few motorists?
