Speed Traps

[txinvestigator1]

It IS against the law for them to have their lights off when running radar. They turn them off on occasion to give you a break. They can meet their ticket quotas, while at the same time you can get the tickets dismissed because the evidence was obtained in an illegal manner. Its a win-win situation.

We don't call them quotas anymore. We call it: competition.

I heard that all stop signs with white borders are optional.

Also, the district attorney will dismiss any charges that required you to read and you can't. [TRUE..it's happened to me]. So I no longer know how to read, and I can't tell what speed that dang sign tells me I should be going.

it's ok to be dyslexic and speed. it's not your fault you thought the speed limit was 53.

In all seriousness, Z...There's no such requirement, aty least where I'm at. I routinely run radar/laser from the dark places where oncoming cars can't see my nice white car with the reflective stripes.

Ya know if I was a cop (and good thing I am not) I would rather search a building with a suspect inside than sit in a dark, woodsy area waiting for speeders. Don't ya ever get scared someone will sneak up on ya? I know, I sound silly, but really - do you ever think about that?

It's always on the back of your mind, that someone may want to kill you. That's why cops seem a little paranoid. But there is still a job to be done. You just deal with it.
