Meantime, as far as a "cash cow" is concerned, there is no cash cow for whatever governmental agency is responsible for enforcing the speed limit restrictions, so long as we obey the speed limit! Kind of a simple solution, wouldn't you say? I remember years ago reading one person's posting on the subject in which she swore that she was specifically targeted as a snowbird (that is, based on the out-of-state tags on her vehicle). Never once did she consider the possibility that SHE was in any way responsible for that ticket by virtue of her choosing to speed through that school zone....

Your post is well written but contains one minor mistake. Some counties do create "cash cows" in the form of speed traps. In North Central Florida a small town named WALDO created a cash cow speed trap that wat so outragous that the State of Florida erected warning signs that specifically warned of "speed trap'.. The tickets even being written today are the town's main source of revenue. Anyway, it just doesn't seem right that after it appears that school has began, the deputies are on the site stillo using radar.
