Go Trapster

Amazing story... in Eastern Australia states the use and ownership of detectors are illegal yet in this story both the police and NRMA show support of Trapster.

Go Trapster!

Trapster seems like an amazing tool for those who travel interstates often. What a novel idea.

The funny thing is I loved Trapster when I first got it.

Now, since I have CB for use on the highways, and a GPS detector, I have found it to be the least useful of my counter-measures. Don't get me wrong... I'm using it because every bit helps!

The Queensland Police simply realise that they can't ban Trapster.
I'm sure they will ping you if they see you touching your iPhone/Blackberry etc whilst driving.

Other than sighting a driver using their mobile, they can't detect Trapster using Stalcar/Spectre.

One cop interviewed suggested that as the cops use technology to catch speeders, it should be expected that drivers will use technology to detect cops.

He neglected to mention that's the case, unless that tech is banned. (RDs, Transponders, etc)

If they could ban Trapster, they would.......

I have had my doubts about Trapster's ability to mark checkpoints. Granted, there are few things in life I resent more than having a police officer stick a flashlight in my face for no good reason and ask if I've been drinking (and I would still argue that such checkpoints are violations of the Fourth Amendment, and Border Patrol checks likely are as well), but the thought that a drunk could open up their cell phone and find a way around a DUI checkpoint that involves traveling through a residential neighborhood bugs me.
