[QUOTE="A K, post: 741876, member: 59480"] Tom: I don't follow. (a) Speed limits are created for the health, safety and welfare of the public. (b) Enforcement of speed limits furthers this state (or municipal) interest. (c) A speed trap is nothing more than enforcing the aforementioned in an area where speed limits obviously are not followed; if they were, no one would be pulled over. (d) Enforcement, whether by radar or vascar, furthers a legitimate state (or municipal) interest. How is it a trick? I've never seen the police erect new speed limit signs, catch a few, then remove them. New speed limits are, in states with which I am familiar, advertised via notice in local publications. Sure, we don't all read them, but that's our fault. Don't get me wrong--I'm no adherent to speed limits. Shoot, four years ago I had a 78 in a 55--but for the kindness of the officer at the magistrate's office, and a reduction to a lesser offense, I would have been 2 MPH away from an automatic suspension--and I had no previous points or infractions! But, simply because I choose to go a little faster (not that fast anymore, or not since I got the ST) doesn't mean if I am caught, it's the police's fault. [/QUOTE]
