Find Speed Traps – Online!

I recently received an email from a friend of mine about a web site called the National Speed Trap Exchange.  This site lists all 50 States, then breaks each State down by major city.  When you click on a city, the site will show you where others have reported “speed traps” – or locations where police officers have been known to hang out with their radar guns.

Here is a link to the Georgia section of the site.

Users can vote “thumbs up” or “thumbs down” as to whether a listed location is still an active police surveillance location.

Some may disagree with putting this type of information on the Internet but I don’t think it is any different than using speed indicators to display your speed and whether you are speeding 0n a particular road.  I think everyone wants to drive safely and to avoid expensive tickets, so I don’t see a problem with identifying where police with radar are located.   Traffic enforcement should be about safety not about revenue enhancement by a city or county.
