It's getting ridiculous. Far too many "LEO"s nowadays. Really is just another form of revenue for the states at this point.

Wow, Looks like I'm keeping my ass away from the east coast.

If you have to speed, just do 2-3 mph over...you wont ever get noticed. Easy.
Now, the zero to speed limit area is where you need to have fun. (Not street racing)

Yeah, I just got my second speeding ticket in the Camaro yesterday. Second ticket while driving the Camaro that is, many more in other cars. It was in the same damn spot and from the same cop as the first one. I definitely won't be speeding in that area again. I hate speed traps.

You can't do that either. They can and will ticket you for that in a heartbeat. Display of power or some crap like that.

Maybe it's easy to go that slow if you drive a Prius...

Woah, you mean they will give you a ticket for rapid acceleration even if you never exceed the speed limit while you do it?

That's just wrong, plain and simple! They should start putting up signs that say "acceleration limit 5 m/s^2"
