I've been enjoying this app immensely and I think it will help everyone especially when you are going into an unknown area.

Basically whenever anyone sees a cop, or knows of a speed trap, red light camera, speed camera, whatever they just click a button on the phone and put in the information.

The more people that report it the more validity that spot gets.

So when you drive by an area it will say "Police like to hide here" or "Red Light Camera in this area". You can also team it up with twitter and/or facebook.

I encourage everyone to check out the site. The more people that use it the more powerful it will become: http://www.trapster.com

Cool idea ... but knowing what I know about my area regarding the many places they CAN and DO hide ... the map would be so cluttered you couldn't read it. I've more or less learned, if you want to dance, you're gonna have to eventually pay the piper.

But that means that I'd have to get a IPhone.... :roll:

Anyway, I'm too well known and it seems that they're following me. My friends won't ride with me except at the going speed limit. I'm not paranoid, I'm not paranoid... But somehow riding a big red bike seems to draw them like flies. :frusty:
