I have a question for you legal folks out there and anyone else who wants to reply
Police officers in my area are taking a new approach on catching speeders.. they are set up in road construction areas and instead of having on a police uniform, they are wearing what all the other construction workers are wearing, all the same down to the hard hat.
They are dressed in these 'outfits' (i guess?) and stationed in road construction areas armed with a radar gun to let fellow police officers know who is speeding.
I noticed this last week when I was on my way to the store.. I could see the person from far away and thought it was some news person reporting on the traffic in the area and all I could think was "Woohoo I'm gonna be on TV!"
But as I got closer I noticed what the guy was holding wasn't a camera, but instead a radar gun, and about half a mile farther down the freeway, there were SIX POLICE CARS GIVING OUT TICKETS.
Good thing I was going the speed limit!
Anyway.. is this a form of entrapment? It was on the news earlier.. a friend of mine says it is? I can understand you shouldn't be speeding in the first place (ESPECIALLY in constuction zones!!!) but should they be dressing up like construction workers?
