I know a guy in Canada who wears a Ronald Reagan mask when he drives just for
the effect.  He has a consistent speed trap place that he passes, too.

It's illegal not to have a front license plate in Colorado.  The photo is
taken from the front so that the driver can be identified.  The driver gets
the ticket, not the vehicle.

On highway 85 near work they set it up about 3 or 4 times per week and catch
hundreds of drivers going 55 to 60 in 45 zone every time they are out there.
I always drive about 60 to stay with the traffic flow, but just hold up a
map between my face and the radar van as I approach the speed trap.  I've
seen lots of flashes but haven't gotten a ticket yet.
