I really do feel for those folks. Crappy situation to be in.
Worse yet, traffic stops are the most dangerous part of police work. Most cops killed in the line of duty are killed while standing on the side of the road. I'd much rather take my chances in a gunfight once in a blue moon than do countless traffic stops every shift. That's dangerous stuff and the ROI ain't worth anyone's life.

BTW Jeff, clean out your damned PM box.

with the maricopa AG stating he isnt going after anyone anymore that gets "tagged", i feel its a sure bet that each and every city as well as the state will be held accountable for the hi-buck camera contracts they have signed and soon we will be over this hell on the highway memorex moment.

theres some ser-i-ass bucks in each and everyjuan of those cameras to take the "family portrait" type photos they take.

the "ONLY" dar-dar unit out there that will defeat them is the escort with GPS. the mobile units are just plain freeking EVIL, cuz gps input into escort doesnt werk.

i have to honestly say i have been DAMN LUCKY not getting juan yet , and i imagine my time is coming. i have caught myself just cruising with flow of traffic and the next thing FLASH and you have mass panic and mega red brake lights all of a sudden going off.

I agree with the mass panic and mega braking, it's dangerous I see it every morning on my way downtown. By the way I was driving the Honda truck not the Porsche.

I was driving to downtown on the 17 tonight and got held up by a jam caused by a motorcycle stuck under a car. I didn't notice a speed camera right before it (17 southbound just before the 10 interchange), but it looked like the car panic braked and the bike behind it couldn't stop fast enough. Rider was fine and was out there pulling his bike out form under the car. But it was kinda spooky. When I ride to LA Sunday, I'm taking Rt. 60 to Quartzsite and avoiding the 10.
