To Serve and Collect

Houston is the third biggest speed trap in the nation.

The National Motorists Association ranked Houston third on its list of the top 10 "speed trap cities" in the U.S.

"The purpose for any police radar enforcement is to reduce motorists' speed in order to save lives and prevent accidents," Lt. Thomas Jennings [of the Houston Police] said.

It is worth noting, lieutenant, that KTRH radio, a conservative news and talk station, is running a poll about the issue today. As of this posting, over 65% of respondents say speed traps are a money grab. That's a conservative audience; these are the people with 100 Club stickers on their cars who drive five miles per hour below the speed limit on their way to church every Sunday...

If speed traps are about safety, I'm the Queen of Sheba.

The difference between a mugger and a traffic cop is the cop can steal more then just the money in your wallet.
