Should this be legal for a cop to do?

Anyone that has driven US Hwy 165 from Alexandria south is aware all the small towns are nothing but a speed trap. Last night I was driving north on 165 thru Forest Hill and one of their yokels was setting in the center turn lane with is lights off hoping to score on another speeder going a couple MPH over the limit. How is this legal? Cop setting in the center turn lane, lights off?

St Gabriel does that at 74 and 30.

Is this your first day in Louisiana?
The government fricks you at every chance it can. It’s the only thing that actually functions.

Even legit should be embarrassed at the actions of those thieves.
But they won't say a word.

Lights off is better than them throwing a goddamn rave every time they pull someone over.
I swear, if I pass a cop making a traffic stop in the middle of the night I'm blind for a good ten seconds from the 18 damn lightbars they've got going.

I got stopped for having to many lights on the front of my truck. Cop said it wasn’t foggy enough to be running my light bars in my bumper. I use them at night to project out to the side to see deer.
Yes it’s illegal to have more than your dims or brights on unless it incremental weather but really geesh

Doesn’t everyone know to slow down through Forrest Hill?

While it seems a bit dangerous to be sitting there ( don’t really know, never been there) if it’s posted, you know the possibility exists for exceeding it.
Every ticket I’ve paid over the years I knew I was over the speed limit when I got pulled over. I wasn’t a dick about getting pulled over so they weren’t dicks about it. Got off with a couple warnings by not being a dick about it.

Police follow the laws of jurisdiction, they do not make the laws. If there is a "speed trap" it is because the town or city government and the locals have asked for it to be enforced.
Livonia has a speed trap because the Mayor's office and the town council voted for it and now the police have to enforce the laws.
Your issue is with the town. How more people don't know this is shocking. The blame police for the laws the politicians and citizens passed.

Hit him head on. He won't do that anymore. I think it should be illegal for police to sit anywhere just to handout a speeding ticket.

I've seen sheriffs and state police do this a couple of times. In the center turning lane at night with no lights. Each time, I called the LSP and the EBRSO and told them there was a unit in the middle of the road with no lights and somehting might be wrong.
