This makes sense. "on the green stamp" meaning on the toll road or maybe by the toll booth. It would mean that this would not have been a save for me, but still good range from my rinky dink $120 setup.Originally Posted by KaPro

Re: CB Slang for Speed Traps
A lot of times truck drivers do a call out on the color of the LEO, for example in Texas highway patrols are called black and white, because the color of their car, so they will say there is a "black and white."
Also when you get into towns or small cities another common alert used is "local" I've heard this work plenty of times.

Kojak with a Kodak is my all time favorite...... and it makes sense too.
