Radar guns are a sore spot with me.

There was a time when they didn't have them. Here in California it was a ballot measure , voters actually voted yes to give the Highway Patrol radar guns.

Previous to radar guns they "patrolled", enforced law by being visible. Now they hide, use the radar gun and write tickets to generate revenues for the counties. What did voter's think would happen when they got the radar guns?

People don't even talk about speed traps any longer, they are so used to them, they don't recognize them as being illegal and immoral. Citizens think its normal for law enforcement to hide and catch the unsuspecting. They behave like a bunch of Banditos, hiding along highways to rob unwary travelers.

There was a time when citizens would not have tolerated this sort of police activity. Look at how the police state is growing, look at what we've become accustomed to.

I am hoping someday the public will vote to take the radar guns away from law enforcement, and get them back out on the road, visible, enforcing the law by their presence, and cut the link between speeding tickets and county revenue.
