What MikeP said is comletely accurate. And to say police are running radar to generate revenue is inaccuate. At least the money comes back to the town where the officer risks his butt and just doesn't end up in state coffers. In Massachusetts there is only one town in which the money generated by fines as a result of a citation is returned directly to the police department. All other fines go directly to that towns general fund.

I can tell you somedays you can hide and no one drives fast by you and other days you can sit out in the open and you get writers cramp.
