Several times in the last couple of years I have complained about
"speed traps" really being "tax traps". 

Well USA Today reported that a small town in Missouri had set up one
of those "speed traps". However, they passed a state law (good for the
lawmakers) that outlawed that kind of "activity". 

Well, just to prove that it was indeed a "tax trap" and not a "speed
trap", after such activity was outlawed the small town started to go
broke. First they laid off all four of the cops it had on the police
force. Then it laid off some other workers. The town is reportedly now
"broke".

So this is one perfect example of when cops repeatedly set up "speed
traps" in the same locations over and over and over, its not saving
lives, but stealing money from people off by forced taxation, ie. a
"tax trap."
