“Ron Martin of Frisco, Texas says his goal is the same as that of police: To encourage safe driving. But the cops’ goal, of course, is different. Their goal is revenue collection. As much of it as possible. By any means possible. ‘Safe driving’ is the window dressing – nothing more. Martin was arrested by Frisco police (news story here) for warning motorists of a radar trap down the road. ‘Police Ahead’ read his sign. Cars slowed down – before they got to the trap. Before they could be issued payin’ paper. That they slowed down – what we’re told the cops’ desire most of all – mattered not at all.”
