      The speed trap they rotate on my street has drastically decreased the speed people drive through this residential neighborhood.

      Haven’t heard a single neighbor complain about the trap.

      Best racket ever as far as the one on my street is.

        I’m glad your department is using them responsibly in your neighborhood, but in some departments/towns, they are purposefully set up to catch people not really breaking the law as a source of revenue. Here’s another example.

      Ok, covering your plate’s letters or scraping the paint off makes it impossible to read their plate to report though when those actually serious scenarios you mention happen. I have a pretty decent dash cam (high res, quality sensor, circularly polarized filter to eliminate glare) but even unintentionally damaged plates might as well not be on the car at all if the retroreflective coat is missing and it is not perfectly lit.

        You make a good point. With that scenario in mind, I suppose I don’t have a problem with busting them all.
