crazy speed trap

Okay so I was traveling down 494 today heading to work. Normally I never see any cops in the area, so I cruise around 85ish, traffic flows 75-80ish.....here is the kicker...its a 60mph zone. Today Im cruising and my radar goes off alarming me of use of laser in the area. I slow down to 60... suddenly it alerts me I have been targeted. Haha...I'm already down to the speed limit. Then I look off to my high left and see an unmarked squad car hidden in the bushes behind the over pass. As I came through and under the over pass, on the right hand side there sat 3 dodge charger srt8's and 2 crown vic's with there cherrys' lit and they all took off after people. Every single cop got one! It was an amazing site, I have never seen a speed trap like that, and to watch the drivers faces go pale white and think "oh shit" as they are getting pulled over for 15-20mph over was PRICELESS! I'm just glad I wasn't one of them today :)

Again, I have never seen a speed trap orchestrated so well, NO one knew this was coming! :surrender:

What radar system are you running?
It appears it was worth every penny.

They did that in Tampa / Clearwater all the time. You'd get some biker cop hiding in the bushes after a bridge/causeway. Then you'd see a string of 10-15 cop cars waiting to pull people over.

Works all the time for them, especially on the Courtney Cambell Causeway, since its like 8 miles long, 4 lanes and a 60 mph speed limit... yea right.

Lucky you had your radar on.

:rant:Right before school ended here in Spokane there were lines of bike cops waiting in an alley right by this highschool nailing large amounts of drivers for speeding in a school zone, those tickets are huge and you can't mitigate them. My girlfreind and a co-worker were among the people who got nailed. One for $295 and the other for almost $500:eek: They don't even ask for proof of insurance, they just take the license, give the ticket, and go back in line to tag another. :surrender:

They do the same thing on the 401 outside of Toronto, except they have timing marks painted on the side of the lanes so they can catch you speeding from a plane like 2000 feet up, then they radio all the info to the dozen waiting cruisers a few miles up the highway... F'rs!!!!!! :mad:

Radar detector won't help :(

LOL, they do this on Route 222 heading into Reading. Usually I see around 6 PA State Troopers sitting on the ramp. You can't see them until its to late. One unit will sit on the bridge that crosses over 222 and use radar or laser to check your speed. For most its game over.

1st: do they really hide in the bushes there, or was that just a figure of speech.

2nd: Ive seen one cop sitting at an overpass, everyone thought they were clear but the next exit up (3 miles), there sits 15 marked cars that already know which ones they are to get.

Its terrible when you are riding with the flow of traffic 10 over, thinking, they will never pick me out. then they end up getting the whole group. :mad: oh well....

This reminds me of a joke. Not the right thread, I know, but it has a similar theme.

Cautious Corner is on his way to work and rides over a bridge. At the end of the bridge is a large sign, and behind the sign is a cop. Well of course CC is a little (ahem) over the posted speed limit so the cop hits him with his laser and immediately turns on his cherries. CC pulls over and the cop approaches and asks him the old standard, "What's the hurry, son?"

CC tells him, "Well officer, I'm late to work and it's very important work too, so I needed to hurry."

"What kind of work do you do?" asks the cop.

"I'm a Rectum Strecher." CC replies.

"A Rectum Stretcher? How does that go?"

"Well first I start with one finger, then work a second in, and keep stretching and working more fingers in until I can stretch it out wide enough so that I can get both hands in there, then I keep stretching it until it's about 6 ft across."

The cop's mouth is agape and his eyes are wide as he asks, "What do you do with a six foot asshole?!"

"Apparently give him a laser gun and set him next to the bridge."


Thank you, I'll be here all night.

#1 yes, they have a dirt road section that leads down to a little spot which tucks them into some higher grass areas, in this case the rig was primer paint color and blended smooth with the concrete baracade on the other side of the car.

#2 I know, fortunately Ive never had it happen but I saw it today lol :eek:

That's not the one CC has. He has the V995, which Amazon has for about $200. What the difference is, aside from price, I couldn't tell you.

Yeah mines the best I could buy from the brand about 2 years ago :)

Its a smart thing to do. In todays case I think they realised that alot of people drive atr a higher rate of speed and are comfortable, so they decided to crack down on this road. its not irregular for me to be driving 90mph in this area....not anymore :eek:
