Alerting your fellow motorists to speed traps.

[Xenophobe3691]

You. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

Just because you get a fine for it doesn't make it wrong - Jesus Christ fellating Moses while riding a goat-pulled mardi gras float! If you are busted for a robbery because you were seen on the security cameras - thats a fair cop, is it not? Yet, if you get busted for speeding by a speed camera its merely revenue raising - fucking hell, just accept the fact that it serves a dual purpose and move on.

I'm sorry, but the law isn't always right. Living in a part of the country that didn't accept black civil rights until THREE, that's it, THREE decades ago doesn't exactly make me very respecting of the law. There are millions of cases in recent history of laws being just stupid and/or harmful. Just because they're laws, doesn't mean they're right.

Depends on the situation.

Outside kindergartens, schools, hospitals and stuff like that the speed limit here is 30km/h.

I would most definitely NOT alert someone of a speed trap close to those.

Um ... those would be the first places I'd alert people of speed traps. Why? Because it'll force them to slow the fuck down in those areas. Sure, you can let speeders in those areas get caught out of spite, but what if one of them hits a child before he gets to the speed trap?

People are much more likely to slow down if they think a cop is waiting for them than if they might hit kids crossing a street, because people never think that anything like that could ever happen.

I asked one of the police officers that frequents the place that I work at. They frequently ticket you for "detection devices"(I presume something that covers radar detectors, etc.) or something to that effect when they pull you over for warning fellow drivers about a speed trap.

That would only apply to states where radar detectors are illegal, though (and that's pretty shaky reasoning, IMO). I'm curious now if any state has specific laws against flashing your headlights.
