Yesterday I was driving and noticed that Google Maps shows user-reported speed traps nowadays. It was fairly accurate and warned me of 2-3 speed traps during my trip. It triggered a thought for me of "wouldn't police departments fight to keep this information out of our hands?" and then I thought of the compelling reason "if the goal of enforcement is to get people to make the roads safer, then this little speed trap warning is actually much more effective at getting that behavior out of me, since I started slowing down a few miles before the trap."
