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.

Sounds like censorship to me. What happened to freedom of speech? It's no different from me telling someone that I saw a radar trap or even a sobriety check point. You're saying I might be arrested for that? Too funny. I know that when I am informed of such a trap I drive even more carefully then I already do. If someone thinks there is a trap they will be paying more attention to what's going around them. IT WOULD MAKE IT SAFER!!!!
