Said police commander Robert Thomas: "You can't have a van breaking the law and a citizen getting a ticket for breaking the law — that's not right." [dailycamera] (Thanks to Matt!)

Speeders and scofflaws of the world, take heart. Someone has got your back. (Or maybe your brake pedal.)

The Speed Trap Exchange, sponsored by the "National Motorists Association," AAA's crazy cousin, offers a list of speed traps throughout North America and the Caribbean. Users can add locations to the list, sorta like a wiki.

Readers indicate if the trap is an automated box or a favorite cop hangout. Either way, look up your city, plan your route, and save yourself the money and the hassle of getting pulled over.

Not that we'd ever be caught speeding ourselves, at any point in time, ever, of course. No, never. MARK ASHLEY
