    Good article, thank you. Poor babies don't like their traps to be revealed. I'm glad citizens who have time and money are taking action against their BS.

    Sheesh... Seems like a valid news report "Cops... the new criminals."


    -A great idea to boost job creation would be to simply fire all police officers/troopers/sheriffs (in increments and do private evaluations of their work)... then rehire in the thousands of positions to get the criminals out of the positions. How should this be paid for you ask? How about with the millions upon millions in illegal funds gained by illegal ticketing of drivers...

    That's an infringement on your first amendment rights... and your right not to be harassed, checked, or detained without probable cause.... Hope they sue for right's violations, too because they had no PC to pull these people over!

    Quoted from article>>>>>>>>>>>
    The suit evolved out the fact that Campbell says "I don't like what the government is dong especially now when most people have a hard time affording gas and now they have to defend themselves against a made up charge that doesn't exist."
    Excellent point this guy has, but how long has this LEO type behavior been going on for?

    "If each person illegally cited was awarded $15,000 that would be $156,435,000 in damages if the suit is successful. Then you would throw in at least another $1,042,900 in ticket refunds, all because it appears troopers don't like motorists warning others about speed traps."

    I wish I had a few tickets

    The first mistake the guy made was to flash his light before he actually passed the FHP. He deserves the ticket for being an idiot. Honestly, I never understood what people do that, you flash when you pass their location since flashing before does not help the people who are between you and the officer locate they already been nailed. Second it attract the officer attention to you like this guy. Once pass the officer the can not see you flashing and it help the on coming cars.

    I have to give him credit he actually found a lawyer to take this case most could care less about traffic ticket and very few actually know the laws.

    PA has case law on this as well and the courts held the police can not stop someone for flashing their lights to warn people of an officers location for speed traps.
