How in the world is warning people to slow down disrespectful to cops?

I'm not anti-police myself, but that really is an absurd take by you.

In several areas where cops sit every frickin day, it amazes me that people still blow through it. Sorry, they deserve the ticket, but like others said, for bears shooting from the woods, I'll warn ahead.

I believe there was a recent Supreme Court case on this where it was ruled Unconstitutional to prohibit this.

Im not sure of the citation and I'm not looking it up.

I always said if u won the lotto, or for some other reason had disposable income and a bunch of free time, I'd print up a bunch of "Spoed Trap Ahead" signs and keep them in my trunk and go post them whenever I saw one. I'm not a speeder (haven't gotten a ticket in years), but I have a big problem with places like Jeanerette, Golden Meadow etc... That use tickets as a revenue source

This says a federal judge ruled it legal to warn others.

Yes. We should respect the rights of cops to meet their ticket quotas.

Is their goal for people to drive slower or is it to issue tickets. If you are getting people to slow down, that is one less car that the police have to stop (which puts the police in harm's way).

They don't write the citation for "warning of a speed trap", it's usually cleverly disguised as "improper use of high beams (within a distance of oncoming traffic).

Nowadays when you do that, most of the oncoming drivers give you that "Why the Frick is this guy flashing his lights" look???

Stupid

Holy moly. If I were very wealthy, driving around Louisiana and putting up signs about speed traps is so far down my list of shite to do.
