pirate00, I'm not sure how you feel getting pulled over for going 15 mph above the posted limit at night (ie, not "ideal" conditions) is "entrapment", since entrapment means that you were encouraged or enticed to do something you wouldn't have normally by the actions of the officers. Hell, I'm not even sure how it constitutes "unfair", since you were going more than 1/3 higher than the limit.
Oh, and that flashing yellow... that means "yield" ... in other words, slow down until you can see that it's safe for you to go, and then go. Don't just blow right through. It's not flashing because it's broken or because it likes to taunt you. Treat it as you would any yield sign, especially if the cross street doesn't have any sign or light.[/B][/QUOTE]
You misunderstood what I was trying to say. I was stopped for speeding in the daytime while trying to pass an elderly woman swerving in and out of lanes, and the officer let me go with a warning, no citation. I referred to entrapment when I should have said, "self-incrimination" during the flashing yellow light. The offcer made references and continually asked me if I was looking for prostitutes simply because they usually frequent the area I was driving. I was not looking for trouble, just trying to get home after a long night.
For the record, I did slow down and look both ways before I made the left turn, and there was nothing coming, however the officer said that I failed to come to a complete stop, even though the light was yellow.
