Any specific examples of this? I've been taking I-16 pretty routinely for most of my life, never heard of or ran into anything resembling a speed trap let alone bait.
Admittedly, I have some friends with a story about Georgia highway patrol / local PD setting up a roadblock off an interstate exit right by a Phish concert.
- wil421 7y agoYes I went to Georgia Southern briefly and had friends who graduated from there. A couple of our fraternity bothers got busted by the road block ahead trick. Maybe it was around Dublin. Metter was/is a speed trap but I’ve only been through once in the past 5 years. Here’s a list from the AJC[1]. I can vouch for Doraville being a trap.

- mieseratte 7y agoNow that I think about it a bit more, I do recall Dublin being an alleged hotspot, but to me it's the same way I've heard Jacksonboro, SC is a hotspot. Transit it a half-dozen or so times per year but never manage to see or otherwise run into actual trouble. Everyone I know will tell you it's a hotspot, but never has actual accounts of it. Metter was and remains the family pitstop, and has never been trouble and I can't recall seeing any in the 10+ years that I can remember driving. Of course that's really only in the I-16 interchange area as opposed to transiting the town itself, perhaps further into the depths of Metter awaits a townie with a quota. I wonder if police hotspots are a sort-of hipster problem, by the time you hear of them they've since moved on to greener pastures.
