ok I have a GPS which is cool, but I found this online and wondered if it works like it says it does, basicly you down load poi maps that are updated as needed. when your moving around in your car, it 'alerts you' to 'known' speed traps and traffic cameras.

Sounds cool ( I want it), does anyone on here use something like this? I think there are a couple of sites that do this. this is the one I was looking at.

aren't speed traps illegal anyways?

 

I know that in europe these types of devices are pretty popular so the technology should be good

 

i use this its pretty good

why would they be illegal?

I see them ALL THE TIME in Aubrun, CA

 

+1 for trapster i have it on my phone works fine

 

i agree i see them all the time so much for being illegal

 

I'm pretty sure they ARE illegal which means they can put up as many of them as they want but they cannot use them to issue tickets.

 

I see people pulled over on the daily on 49 (Auburn,) so illegal or not they use them to issue people tickets

 

Ya i dont understand how they are illegal? Can someone explain that.

 

Had an app like this on my iPhone when I first got it. All it does is pin point specific "known" areas that either cops have hidden in before, or where people received tickets. It was almost a nusance because I pretty much knew all the local traps...IE: freeway on ramps...dont know about the "illegal" portion of this.....here in CA we see them ALL THE TIME...and I'm PRETTY sure that the cop is issuing a ticket if theyre at the person's driver/passenger window with thier clipboard....usually NOT a good sign...
