Do you live in a city that has Speed Cameras and Red Light Cameras. Does your city hand out speeding tickets using technology like photo radar? Speed Cameras are popping up all over the world as cities feel the pinch financially from the sagging economy. Speed camera vendors promise riches beyond a mayor’s wildest dreams. Speed cameras hand out speeding tickets that are impossible to defend, as the city does not have to prove that you were driving a car, simply owning the car is enough to convict you EVEN IF YOU CAN PROVE YOU WERE IN ANOTHER COUNTRY. Tickets from speed cameras in Ohio usually require that you pay a fee just to have the right to fight your ticket in a hearing held by the very people that stand to benefit financially if you are convicted.
If speed cameras and red light cameras are a nuisance to you, there is help. Trapster is an application that you run on your GPS enable mobile phone. Trapster allows you to report the location of speed cameras, red light cameras, active speed traps, and places where police usually hide. Trapster is legal in all states, as it is not a radar detector, or text messaging.
Trapster works as drivers pass a speed camera, speed trap, red light camera, or frequent police hiding spot, the driver hits a button on the phone reporting the speed trap. The location and type of threat is uploaded to the Trapster database. All other drivers passing the speed camera or other threat will be notified with a voice warning and will see the threat on the moving map.
Trapster can be updated by users on their PCs at home too. If you pass a speed trap on the way home and cannot update from your phone, you can still let other drivers know about the speed trap.
If you drive in the area of speed cameras, photo radar, red light cameras, or areas where speed traps are a problem you should run Trapster on your mobile phone. It is free, information is kept current, and it is much cheaper than a speeding fine, attorney fees, and experiencing the miscarriage of justice that speed cameras dish out daily.
