I mean really, what's the point of speedtraps if cops are there?

Make it like real life, as soon as a speeder is caught it gets sent over to the police, so therefore the laser will be sent over to the police chat and the police will do the job providing the !showlaser from the radar.

As far as I know, the speed cameras on roads automatically fine the person, by sending the data to a Police control centre (or bringing the film from older machines to them for consideration) which then send out a letter to your home address, not send out a cop to chase you (if the cop could even find you afterwards). It works that way in most countries. Imagine what will happen, when a bunch of guys will decide to set a speed record while all the cops are in a chase. Ignore it? Not realistic. If we talk about how realistic this system is, then the existing one is the closest version to real life. Even tho I would +1 for putting the fine money in a raffle or some other stuff.
If a cop wants to chase speeders, he will park up and !laser them, instead of chasing someone, hell knows how far from the actual speeding, while that person could immediately pit to avoid any fines.
Basically, the big fuss about this is because people keep speeding even after being fined, therefore being fined even more and more.
Rules from where COPs can speedtrap should be put in place, as speedtrapping from OOB or bushes should be illegal (although most countries hide the cameras to catch speeders without their knowledge).

I am not saying that that idea is bad in general, but for realism purposes I'd keep the existing system.
