MikeV: Florida just passed a law within the past year that it was NOT illegal to give warning to drivers that a speeding trap is ahead.

Because it is called a speeding trapped I do give drivers a heads up (lights up). In my view it slows them all up which is what the trap's overall intent is to do.

When it comes to this issue I respect LOE for doing their jobs and understand it done in the name of safety. On the other hand when I view that LOE is being overzealous and over eager then I really draw the line.
