Great idea incorporating the speed trap locations into GPS nav systems.

Hehe, F you big brother!

In England most GPS systems sold have the speed traps already built in and you can download updates as needed.

Never underestimate the government's desire to f*ck over the populace in the name of revenue.

Follow the money.

What's wrong with driving the speed limit? Nowadays, I would imagine there is a good likelihood that w/ cell phones and coffee, stereo, crackberry and make-up application, the chances of getting killed today are very high. I personally don't want to see that happen to anyone, nor do I want to be the offender. If you don't want to make a taxable contribution to the local police, drive the speed limit.

Big brother is watching and I would imagine it's only going to get worse.
