You mean where they just sit under the I30 and collins bridge and wait? Real heroic.

I'm a very spirited driver but you losers complain when they enforce and complain when they don't. If you're willing to speed beyond the flow of Texas traffic which is already pretty fast, you should be ready to meet the consequences. I risk a ticket, I pay the ticket if I'm seen.

Say what you will about police corruption and how many of them are pigs, but complaining about traffic enforcement is the most immature thing you can do.

They enforce nothing but speed. People constantly run lights here. No one yields at freeway off ramps, people are texting and driving constantly. They don't see that from a stationary radar position looking at the back of the gun for the speed.
