A Houston woman made up a sign warning motorists of a speedtrap and she was arrested!
In my area we often alert fellow drivers of speed traps by flashing our lights. Do you think there should be a law against this?
Do You Think That You Should Be Punished For Letting Drivers Know There Is A Speed Trap Along Their Route?

Heck, even police put up fake speed traps to slow motorists down. Real trap or fake, it has the same desired result.

P.S. After hubby got a ticket a block from home, he cursed the speeders on home turf and wished a ticket on them.

This also came up in the UK recently.
I think a court ruled that it wasn't an offence because the driver who flashed their lights couldn't know for sure the other driver was in fact speeding.
Legal niceties aside I would warn other drivers on the open road but I have zero tolerance for speeding in town.

I proudly flash my lights!
I heard of some boys who had signs that also alerted thankful motorist that donations were welcomed!
Boys got busted hard too....
My county officers also park empty cars to slow traffic out on long stretches of road between counties/towns

Some towns will give you a ticket for going 5 miles over the limit. I'm with Snowbird! Enough laws already!!!

The kicker is, if you did get stopped and you were an off duty cop, you'd get no ticket.
