I didn't get the picture, either. I'm glad I waited to raise cain, because I know that would violate Ky. case law, which is very specific about radar usage. But Hey, a joke's a joke, even if I didn't get it!

That is funny!
But some states do have cameras for speeding. I went to Prescott Arizona with my daughter's softball team and 4 of the parents got speeding tickets in the mail when they went through a speed trap set up kinda like the ones that catch you at red lights. It was a 2 lane road each direction and downhill and if I remember right, the speed limit was 35 so they know people are going to speed. 2 of the parents got 2 tickets each since they did not realize the first time they went through it that it was a trap. It was raining and they thought the flash was lightning. $420 per ticket! Phoenix used to have some of these also.

I've been dealing with speed cameras in Japan for years on highways. Motorcyclists here don't worry about them because we don't have plates on the front of our bikes 
Cars are a different story. The cameras are set to go off at 30kph above the limit but most folks stay either stay below that figure or buy radar units that report speed cameras locations (and can be updated via the Net).

Great, another way for the politicians to steal your money. Let me guess.....there is a huge drop in the speed limit right before speed trap. But....but....it's all about safety.

I thought the ACLU fought the law on speed devices.. the EZ-Pass speeding tickets were knocked down as far as I knew.. guess its up to the first smoart guyto fight it in court and I;m sure the ACLU will defend you for free
