Cops LOVE bagging people at construction and school zones. In many states the enforcement is active only when workers are present; there are a few states (I don't know exactly which ones, but Oklahoma is one of 'em) where the wording of the work zone speed limit sign can be interpreted to mean 24/7 enforcement as long as the barricades and work zone speed limits are up.
I remember one time driving down I-44 (Will Rogers Turnpike) from St. Louis to Tulsa and noticed an OHP (Oklahoma Highway Patrol) 'road roach' hiding in the construction zone ready to bag speeders.
For T*P: Plano and Richardson are notorious for setting up ambushes to catch red light runners; most major intersections in Plano, especially where there's a high number of red light tickets written, have signs posted reading: "7291 RED LIGHT CITATIONS WERE ISSUED IN PLANO LAST YEAR - DON'T BE NEXT!" And the bastards have LIDAR 'gun turrets' on some of their cruisers.
