I call BS to this one


If a cop has to sit in the wide open its pointless. The point is to CATCH speeders not let them know you're there.

That depends on the area. A number of places have anti-speedtrap laws in place. Here in Florida, I think the requirement is that they have to be visible in at least one direction, of course that doesn't necessarily mean that it has to be the direction you are coming from.

I used to live in Vermont. in the 4 years that I actually drove there, I had 4 speeding tickets, none very high miles (was only driving a Toyota Corrola, god I think that car was cursed), but expensive. Of course, Vermont is always in desperate need of revenue, and they have some of the most merciless and bored ***-hole cops I've ever seen because of it. I had one pull me over for 4 mph over the posted limit (39 in a 35, which seems to be most of the damn state). Just one of the many reasons I left that state.

Long Story Warning



Anyway, been living in FL now for about 10 years, and never even been pulled over, much less ticketed (give me a moment, gotta go find a tree to knock on). I mainly chalk it up to luck, but cops down here in Orlando don't seem to be concerned unless you're flying. Hell, I've had cops pass me while I was speeding.

I guess in the end it comes down to being like the Gambler, knowing when to hold them, and when to fold them.
