I don't give a crap how many times you've dangled your dick on public roads.

Leeme 'splain

I get enjoyment when a person whines about getting a ticket they have clearly earned.

Make no mistake, I'm not a fan of BS speed traps, but way too many offenders throw out the "it was a completely BS speed trap that got me" reason for getting popped.

Just simply not true.

Like it was said, "you play, you pay"...just keep your pie hole shut and don't complain about it.

It goes like this...I was driving back from Tucson on SR 79 from Oracle Junction to Florence. Its a long straight 2 way road with minimal traffic. It was probably 9 pm, speed limit was 65, I was rolling along ~72-ish.
Not a car in sight for many miles.
Listening to a podcast or music, not important which.
Approaching the outer edge of Florence, the Speed Limit drops to 45.
Was screwing with the podcast/music thingy trying to back it up or replay a song and missed the speed change.

Got popped. Engine off, windows down, dome light on, hands on wheel.

He got me at 71 in a 45. Wrote it up as 56. I put on my big boy pants and called the court looking for options.

Took a goofy online course and it was all good. And get this, I didn't go online and bicth about the fact he could fudge the numbers on the spot. Why not give me a warning? Why not blah blah blah.

Just continued living another day and left it in the past.

Crikey, I'm out of popcorn.
