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.

I’ve noticed in Houston and Katy now some are sitting in “trappy” spots but they have the lights on. Reb and blues on but not flashing?

Is that a new law here? County? State? Enough cops here have gotten blasted though I think while sitting in a spot. Some dumb (or drunk) bastard driving along hits them full speed.

People don't have to abide by stupid rules or laws. Cops don't have to write a ticket to someone going 36 in a 35. People at McDonalds don't have to give out 2 packs of ketchup per order because it's company policy. Everyone should acknowledge stupid rules as stupid and not enforce them.
