Wow!!! Awesome site and nice find. Hmmm.....might need to update some where I live. They do cover most places and other places I did not know, but the times the cops are around.......not to sure about it.

They need to hook this in with annotated google maps. Put a big red X over the places to be extra careful.

But maybe that conflicts with Google's code of "Don't be evil".

It would also be great if I could load that info into the factory nav and have it warn me "speed trap ahead". Sort of a Lexus "Knight Rider" but without David Hasselhoff

^ That's a fantastic idea, actually. It'd make the whole site in general make a lot more sense.

I don't even look at it as anything "evil". Going a bit over the speed limit isn't "evil" especially if it's unintentional, and honestly the police is just doing the public a disservice by issuing tickets to everybody who's going over the limit - even if it's just by a few mph, as they do so often during these speed trap setups.

Hi everybody....I am glad you find this link useful. Crap! We already pay the price for our auto insurance. Adding a speeding ticket to it would be a total bummer! Be safe and watch yourselves out there.

they dropped the speedlimit on a road near my house from 55 to 40.... and the road can easily be a drag strip, needless to say there is a cop there 24/7
