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.

anything you do to make it safer (i.e. letting drivers know where to be sure to drive 'legally') could not be construed as interfering with the duties of an officer, if anything you are helping to improve public safety
