Speed trap

[Dan]

There's two elements to having stationary laser areas. In real life (at least in Britain) you have ANPR units. Some consist of one sitting in a remote hidden location with the ability of speed gunning those who drive past and are over the speed limit. This is the equivalent of a player on TC sitting hidden and hitting !laser. Then, a unit further down the road (usually at a junction, where the speed is reduced) the ANPR interceptor intercepts the vehicle and performs a traffic stop on them; also possible with TC - and works quite well.

The other element is fixed, stationary speed can which are the equivalent of speed traps on TC. Difference is, in Britain, if the speeding is considered minor then you'll get a £60 fine and 3 to 6 points on your licence. However, you have to pay that yourself, where as with speed traps on TC, you have no choice and the money just disappears. Therefore, I prefer the idea where speed camera lasers are sent to cops; at least then the suspect has the opportunity to pay the fine or run.
