IMHO if you're not obeying the laws you deserve to get a ticket, and hopefully paying a stiff fine will convince you to change your driving habits & become a law-abiding driver. Telling bad drivers when & where they specifically need to be sure & obey the law serves no good purpose.

Having spent nearly 40 years in radio I can tell you that very often police agencies will send out press releases indicating where they will be doing some aggressive ticketing. It's not at all unusual.
