How's it going guys Not sure if Florida should be seperated into sections (e.g. Central Florida, South Florida, etc.)
As for my "experience," I can say anything for the surrounding area of UCF, as well as the Okeechobee area.
Any questions, ask them here

I drive around the Daytona Beach area, with an occasional trip to Orlando.
A1A here gets a lot of enforcement, so the folks walking to the beach don't get run over by motorists. If the speed limit is 30 or 35 MPH it's a really good idea to stick to it.
There's often a FHP cruiser somewhere within a mile of the I4-I95 interchange. I think it's a conveinient place to sit where they can go off in either direction quickly.

Duval County here. The Beaches cops are notorious for speed traps and
strict enforcement (only tickets I have in the last 20 years are from there).
The city police for a long time were rather lax in comparison, but lately
have stepped up enforcement, esp. around construction sites. I've noticed
several traps lately (incl. laser where they just pull over one car after the
other by signaling) where before there was nothing.
A couple more people, and we'll have all of Florida covered :P

If you're around the UCF area on a weekend night, be careful of undercovers. Saw one yesterday night pulling over someone. Dark blue, late model Chevy (I think it was an Imapal), plate number Q26-4FN. It had a radar antenae in the front (I think it was Stalker).

Tampa resident here! Also travel to Sarascrotum frequently. (lol)
Speed traps are rare in essence. More frequent on I4 and I75 from FHP. I4 is crazy. I made a trip to orlando international early in 4-5am a few days ago and caught one FHP doing real IO somewhere after lakeland i believe, the X50 picked it up from mile + away.
Then on my way back at around 7am there was one running CO on eastbound side of I4 with a pretty nice angle.
On I75, the FHP favorite spots are somewhere around St. Pete on i275 and i75 on Sarasota exits. Never encountered anywhere else between that area.
Freqency and county info:
Tampa:
Tampa has two police divisions, one is City of Tampa and for the whole Hillsborough county the Hillsborough sheriffs are in charge.
Hillsborough county sheriffs run Ka 33.8 Ghz from MPH industrie. I have also seen them use an Ultralyte at night. Their favorite spots at least in the west division is Sheldon rd and Linebaugh Ave.. Eisenhower Blvd and Memorial Highway.. and Hoover and Hillsborough ave.
TPD runs K band 24.15 Ghz and this is all I have encountered from them. No other info available.
Sarasota:
Sarasota has City of Sarasota cops which run 35.5 Ka and have old and new style Impalas. Possibly crown vics too.
Sarasota County sheriffs have old and new Impalas and run K band in them. I have also seen a crown vic run 35.5 Ka. Reports are that they use LIDAR as well.

Yea, here around the UCF area, there really isn't too many "traps." More like roaming LEOs driving around. A couple of troopers patrol Alafaya, as well as University Blvd. Also, undercover cars patrol the same areas. There seems to be increased enforcement during the week-end nights (Friday and Saturday nights), especially around the clubs. Pacing and 34.7 Stalker in use.
