Lived in my house for 5 months, just got my second traffic ticket in that time within 2 miles of it....never gotten a ticket before. These guys suck....hard.
I would be forced to move if I lived near a permanent speed trap like that!
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice ...Wow no sympathy? I personally think that is bull.
My last ticket was bull**** and I am pissed as hell. It is border line extortion. I was on a backroad and the speed limit dropped from 55 to 35. The cop was sitting about 100 feet past the new speed limit sign and clocked me when i was in the 55 but pulled me over just after the speed limit sign. He gave me a ticket for 43 in a 35.

Go ahead and fight it. It won't get any more expensive and it might get thrown out. At the very least you'll make the cop have to show up in court and you won't have to cough up the money for awhile.
Want to get back at them .... plead not guilty ... they will spend 1000s of budget dollars for your trial and you will pay an extra $30 bucks or so.
You dont have to pay taxes?
I got a letter in the mail with a picture of my license plate going 39 in a 25 on Saturday! I don't have a problem with a cop doing his job...But a Frickin' camera doing it for him is BS!
Wow, your license plate has a lead foot.I got a letter in the mail with a picture of my license plate going 39 in a 25 on Saturday! I don't have a problem with a cop doing his job...But a Frickin' camera doing it for him is BS!
I've never had a ticket, but I know they are expensive.
If I did get a ticket, though, I wouldn't blame the cops for doing their job. I'd blame myself.
I actually would like to live in a neighborhood where traffic laws were enforced. When I first moved here, I had young kids who walked to and from school everyday and I was really concerned about people flying down the road hurrying to work. If you had kids walking and playing in the neighborhood, you probably would have a different view of the cops patrolling your neighborhood.
Seriously?Since we are talking about criminals here, why put cops out there at all. We have the technology to place mile checkpoints with cameras out on the roads to clock everyone every mile. We also have the technology to place identifiers of vehicles so we dont need license plates.
Since it is illegal whats the big deal right?
As a matter of fact, why the hell do we need warrents, ey? If your not doing anything illegal whats the big deal if a cop/judge/tax man shows up at your house and demands entry?
I feel this way about my neighborhood. One of the roads I run on every day is somewhat rural and people drive incredibly fast on it. I fear for my life every day running down that road.I actually would like to live in a neighborhood where traffic laws were enforced.

HaHa. I have been meaning to get the plate number of the cop in my hood. His speed through my streets is the one I have the most gripe about.

No offense at all. Sorry you get pissed at we runners, but we have a right to the road, too. It's there for transport, not merely vehicular transport. If I slow you down by a second or two, apologies, but you'll just have to live with it.Shecky, bro, your complaining about cars on a street that you run on, lol, perhaps you are causing more danger for the cars than they you. I wont lie, when I drive down the road and have to slow down cause some guy in riding his bike 10 mph or running 5 mph in the road I get a little pissed.
I suppose we are to share the roads, but when its 35mph and your running on it.........
its not like all you guys wear bright orange with reflective stuff. We do spend massive amounts of money on places you can run without cars.
just my two since, hope i didnt offend ya Ed.
