Mr. Foreman’s tickets were all issued in Forest Heights, a town of about 2,600 where officials expected $2.9 million in ticket revenue this fiscal year, about half the town’s $5.8 million budget.

A town which gets half of its revenue from traffic tickets is pretty much the definition of a speed trap.

“A town which gets half of its revenue from traffic tickets is pretty much the definition of a speed trap. “

The most disturbing thing about smalls towns that do this is that the residents, are willing participants in this scam. Towns like this should be burned to the ground and the ashes scattered to the four winds to the sweet sound of the lamentations of their women.
