The police, whether city, sheriff's dept or state, call in a description of the car, violation and the location where the vehicle has been stopped. You usually have this info minutes and miles before you get to the area where a speed trap is being operated and it makes no difference what kind of device is being used. (Radar,laser,stopwatch) Knowing where the traps are you can not only avoid rear-ending somebody with a detector who has only seconds to react to a detector's alarm but you also get advance warning of fire and ambulance crews making hot runs in your area. In a sense the scanner is a *safety* device as opposed to being an electronic countermeasure to thwart the government's revenue gathering efforts. ;-) - Phil
