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?

Flashing headlights that warn oncoming motorists of speed enforcement is illegal in Florida. Therefore I consider this to be the same type of thing. If you can show conclusive proof that this is not illegal, we might take it under consideration.
However, personally, I don't share your disdain for enforcement of our laws. If there was no enforcement there would eventually be anarchy. The same thing as people controlling people. It doesn't work.
Enforcement Zones are neither for raising money or slowing people down. They are for arresting lawbreakers who jeopardize their own safety and the safety of others.
You use the term "speed trap." There are all kinds of traps, rat traps, fly traps, ant traps, roach traps, speed traps. What do each of these traps catch? They catch what the trap is specifically intended for.
