<<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? The problem with this is that the sign only deters the speeder for a short time, really only until he passes the police officer, at which time he will speed up again. It's like Moonshiners having a snitch at the police station who'd tip them off against raids. The snitch could be seen as "helping" because he's encouraging people to follow the law for that brief period during which the police will raid the moonshiners. Generally the intent is not to encourage people to obey the law, but to prevent people from having their illegal activity discovered by the authorities. A general warning that speed will be tracked in an area, is a better method of speed control, since the motorist must be careful through the entire area since he doesn't know where the police have concealed themselves, if they are present at all. -Akodo Bob the man without a funny sig.
