How is that an abuse of power? A person violates the speed limit and the cop writes them a ticket. The speed limits apply to others and myself. I just choose to obey the law.
Except that isn't what a speed trap is. A speed trap is when there is a sudden change in the speed limit.
I remember one time, I got a ticket in Chicago because the thug ass cop knew a stop sign had been knocked down and he could rack up a bunch of tickets.
But that was one time years ago. If that was my every day experience, I'd really learn to hate the bastards.
Oh, wait, that is the every day experience of black folks, and they really hate the bastards.
