The problem with this argument is, if I saw a sign warning of a speed trap, I'd slow down, not speed up. So in actuality, he was simply preventing the police from having anyone to ticket, by encouraging people to follow the law. And he's arrested for this? I've heard that some police departments have taken advantage of the spread of radar detectors in a similar fashion. They place empty police cars at various changing locations, with a radar gun set in the On position inside. When a speeder hears his detector go off, he slows down. Works better than a speed bump. :-) -- laz I am the Dread Pirate Roberts #23546. Ask me about franchise opportunities!
