Don't forget the profiling. About a week and a half ago the county had a speed trap set up in the usual BV spot by the entrance to Bridgeport of LS. I had pulled over to check out the Palmer gator. A large delivery van pulled out of the traffic circle heading south and was well over the 35 mph limit. He knew he had been caught and even pulled over to get his ticket. The sheriff waved him on and flagged over the guy driving behind him. The truck was going a lot faster than the car and was even pulling away from the car. Splain that one.

Also how ofter do you see construction / contractors type trucks being stopped on say 466a? I never have but have seen a lot of cars pulled over. Easy pickings and will not effect the drivers employment record.
