Shannon,
Out here in Brooklyn, luckily for us, cops are busy fighting crime (ahem) that is why they spend less time doing speed traps.
However, once in a while we do see them with the occasional cancer causing radar probe hanging out the rear window. They now even have laser guns, I seen them myself.
Two things about them though, I pretty much know all the spots where they like to hang, and usually they do it at the beginning of the month or the end. It must have something to do with the full moon because they swear up and down that there are no quotas and since they don't lie it must be true.
I know out there in Arizona you guys have a lot of room lots of roads and such but there should be some pattern to their activities? I once saw this thing where one cop was maning the laser gun while the other (his partner) would jump out of a ditch with a red flag and get the victim to stop.
Also while I am on the subject why do they go after bikes on lonely roads while people on the highway in all types of rollover prone vehicles with trailers (sometimes full of horses) are free to go at Kamikaze speed? I was never so skeered as when I rode down on the slab from Flagstaff to Phoenix! Jesus they was bonkers out there? Damn the torpedoes and we even passed two rigs that ran out of macadam and did some off roading right there in the median!
Don't try to outrun the cops unless you really are up to no good. If they catch you it will be a very expensive endeavor.
Ride on!
