Naturally, I wouldnt suggest anyone in the US do the same, nor would I endorse such action.

This is the real key right here.

I think much of the reason that traffic enforcement is so bizarre in this country is that it's done for revenue, not for safety.

Why not just fine everyone for every mile they drive incrementally and save a huge amount of money on enforcement if that's how you are doing it?

Stupid.

Status: offline 		I found one in Livonia, near my house, but I am not sure what the point is. The problem they have is the corner of Middlebelt and Farmington. It's a no turn on red corner and a high traffic area. The police are known for sitting near this corner and ticketing people for running the red. What I don't understand is, how is this a speed trap. It's clearly posted as No Turn On Red. If your stupid enough to run the light, you should be ticketed. One of the comments mentioned being ticketed more than once. How many times does it take, before you just follow the rules.

Butch


the problem with that idea is mainly the cost, satelite transpoders cost a ton, and for a city youd need at least 2...

not to mention anyone with a laptop could potentionally screw them over big time :)

They are already up and in use.. they are just not issuing tickets yet...spaced along 270  the main ring around St Louis.

We also have a lot of the new red light cameras around the city...no rolling stops here.

Status: offline 		I'm a cop in PA and althought we dont have these systems here I can see the day comming.  I echo the opinion of the professional driver above.  When its done for safety all well and good, but as a revenue generator, its just a bad idea all around.  These governments are captivated by the companies that sell these devices in terms of how much money they can make and have to pay no one to do it after the initial cost.  Thats why you see them.  I was told by an instructor many years ago, we are there to protect the public not to persecute them, and I think thats an idea that has gone by the way side for some, but not all.  Hope the revenue generators dont get you and hope you slow down for the right ones.

Be Safe

Status: offline 		Not a cop but I see nothing wrong with collecting revenue for law breakers... if you don't speed you will...in most cases... not get a speeding ticket.. If the speed is 30 then 31 should get a ticket... if they catch you.

But if they set a circumstance where following the proper speed limit will still get you a ticket then that is wrong..For instance changing the speed without warning or the proper site distance.

But just enforcing a law should not be looked at as a trap..in my opinion.

Status: offline 		In Ontario (Canada) these are mobile, they are in the cop cars and can be anywhere.  Of late they have been nabbing people in radar traps for seat belt violations as well. 

Much of the ones for Toronto and the GTA are old, from 2007.  Since the traps move often I am not sure if this can ever be up to date.

Status: offline 		Something else to think about... Many police Departments use fines as a supplement to their budget. Now if they did not collect fines they would ask for and most likely receive more tax money.

Don't know about you but I'd rather speeders pay then me in my taxes.
