Years ago there was this hobo looking guy on the side of the road near a crosswalk swaying back and forth. I slowed down but it was clear he wasn't going anywhere, looked wasted. So I just kept on going, wasn't going to waste my time on a fucking transient.
A block past that I got pulled over and given a warning for not yielding to pedestrians, turns out the 'hobo' was a fucking cop and it was a sting operation. Ridiculous. |

Back before the subway used metro cards... I was on my way to school And saw a man with a full beard (but wearing a dress and lipstick) quickly flash a badge to The token booth clerk in order to get buzzed through the turnstyle.

Used car lot. One semi local sheriff's office has a visibility car in a small town i drive through daily. Once every few months, they actually run radar from out and tag people up the road.

On US 61 west of Davenport a town has a squad car parked facing the road, a dummy is dressed up and in the front seat so it looks like its manned
every once and a while there will be a real officer busting people for speeding as word got out that it was just a dummy in the car. I always that that was smart and funny and it slowed down speeders entering or exiting the small farming town never was pulled over myself by them but a friend and his grandfather were a few times when they were going to or headed back from their cabin on the cedar river |

We have a speed trap here where a cop sits in a lawn chair with a radar gun in the bushes alongside the road.
Half a mile further down the road the patrol cars wait for you to cruise by after officer lawn chair calls your speed out. |

In my house.
I walked out of the bathroom and two cops were just standing there in my living room like it was cool. I certainly wasn't expecting that asked me if I was the only one home and turned and walked out. Pretty weird |

Sneaky in plain sight?
PHX PD, especially motor officers, had a technique of parking next to a car parked on the side of the road (like they were already issuing a ticket); if you didn't slow down (and were probably laughing a la Nelson) they would look up with the RADAR gun and ping you. |

I read a news story a year or two ago about a cop who was in a porno shop, in the back aisles somewhere around 3AM, when a bad guy came in to rob the place. The cop was able to stop the robbery: he said he had stopped in to buy a 'gag' gift for a friend of his. Wow, what a coincidence

I have seen the Highway Patrol put up drug checkpoint signs, then a drug dog in use sign. They are all hidden on the other side of the next exit and never stop and check vehicles. After a few years of driving by this i finally noticed a cruiser with the roof line barely visible and what appeared to be a camera mounted on top pf the bridge wall. My guess is they watch people as they are reading these signs and start throwing stuff out the window. They always report a high number of arrest after they do this sting.

My driveway. Which leads to two lane blacktop.
I told him I'd rather he didn't watch traffic from there. These days I'd probably just shrug and let him be sneaky on my property. |

In his own driveway behind a row of shrubs. Was 18 and got busted speeding in my friends neighborhood. Thing is, he lived two doors down from my friend's place. My asshole friends took pictures of me getting a ticket.

Small town I drive through (about 300 population) is a speed trap, they basically do nothing but run radar. They have 3 vehicles, two of them are stealthy without contrasting markings and hidden lights. They park at a junky car repair shop in amongst the cars on the dark lot. Their sneakyness is very effective as I would say that they have someone pulled over about 20% of the times that I drive through at night on the way home.

6 years ago I was riding a motorcycle in the Northern Cascades in Washington. I raced by one of those electronic boards that registered your speed. On the backside of the board a state trooper was sitting running his own radar. Pulled me over for speeding, and it was impossible to argue that I didn't know how fast I was going. Cost me $136.00.

1983, Driving from Vancouver BS to Victoria BC, there was a tripod set up at the side of the road with a radar gun on it. Long, long wire leading to the mounted's car up ahead. Lots of traffic so nobody could speed, but that was a new sneaky one.

There's an elementary school at the end of a big curve where I grew up. One cop stands in the corner of the parking lot, just after the curve, hitting people with the radar as they blindly come around the bend.
In the middle of the parking lot, there's another cop that stands there, waving people in to the parking lot when the first signals that they were speeding. Two or three other cops are at the other end of the parking lot, writing tickets as they roll in. A lot of times, there's a line waiting to get their tickets. One cop stays in his car for anyone that thinks they can keep driving. They do it about once a quarter. I guess people are too stupid to remember that they'll be there again sometime soon. |

FWPD, trailer pulled by double cab with 5 motorcycles off the Beach St exit. Deployed one hiding behind the big ass sign on the center of the overpass shoots radar. Others chase, very productive it seemed. Worked for a while and loaded them up for other areas.

Back when I was in high school, we used to "cruise the loop". Everyone would park at the courthouse parking lot and shoot the shit. A guy in my class had a case of beer in his car, and was talking to another guy about going to the lake to party. Cop was hiding in a tree listening to them, jumps out of the tree and arrests him

PA State Trooper (whose cars are white) backed into the gap between a couple of 20' or so high piles of road salt at a PennDOT depot along one of the major roads around here. I actually thought that was pretty ninja of him, usually they just try to blend in and hide the reflective letters/logo on their door behind plowed snow banks. Although they're going to start to change their vehicles to gray over the next few years...which will also blend in with most of the snow along the interstates.
One of the local townships has black cars with the low vis lettering on them, one of those guys likes to park next to a black painted barn right on a curve on one of the mostly straight main roads here and amazingly enough I know people who he's popped for speeding in the exact same place multiple times. You'd figure they would have figured it out by now, but nope. |

St Ann MO, cops shoot radar from a hotel room they book. Around 8,000 tickets per year from the stretch of road in front of St Louis Lambert Airport, 30% of St Ann's budget. Money hungry bastards.

Parked in his driveway with a unmarked car and the lights out. He'd just pull out and pull people over, then go back and his wife would hand him a sandwhich.

In a poor, po-dunk town the po-po parked in the median of a ~3 mile speed trap where the limit drops from 75 to a 35/20 school zone. Was not uncommon to get tickets for 1 or 2 miles over the limit. <Edited -40xb>
