We are entering hard economic times. I can tell because I am seeing more speed traps. The police need to write more tickets to raise money to pay their salaries. I notice that Fort Worth is reducing the speed limit on some of the roads, allegedly to save lives. Odd that they got that thought just as they realized that they needed to raise more revenue. Here is an article by a guy who recommends smashing the speed monitoring cameras. A friend of mine suggested using a paint ball gun to paint the lens: that is a more elegant approach, and you wouldn't even have to stop the car.
