A friend of mind and I got a tongue-lashing from a cop years ago as we happened to see a roadside speed trap and went back to his place, got a big sheet of plywood and a can of spraypaint to make a sign reading "cop ahead". Unfortunately we weren't far enough away from the speed trap and they figured out what we'd done pretty quickly but it was still pretty funny. I think I was about 10 or so.

To this day I wonder if radar traps are really about safety (getting people to slow down) then why wouldn't the police applaud us for our efforts (we DID get cars to slow down!) and/or put similar signs themselves all over town? The reminder alone and threat of maybe actually having a cop ahead would increase safety, no?

I figured out at an early age that things aren't exactly how they're sold to you and that the police aren't necessarily the "good guys".

I'm glad people are standing up to this kind of crap. Finally.
