Mobile phone service to warn drivers of speed traps

Tomorrow (June 7th) a Canadian company called J R Wireless will launch a mobile phone service that will warn drivers of speed traps in Ontario and Quebec. The service will use text messages to notify drivers. Speed trap alerts to mobile phones have been available in numerous European countries for more than five years. The program will begin in the two provinces, but could expand to the entire country if successful. So far, there’s no word if the service could come across the border to the United States. Alerts will cost 50 cents per text message. The Leftlane Perspective: Alternatively, you could become a highway traffic officer and drive you Ferrari however you like.

50 Cents per Text is a hell of a lot cheaper than a $200 Ticket!!!! They need to bring that to the US!!!!!

Hey Big Dave,

As another X cop and hot rod enthusiast, you must have mixed emotions about this type of thing. I'd be interested to know what you think about it.

Inquiring minds want to know.....Sarge.

You have to remember that no matter what technology is used, their are still stupid people out there. Here in Salt Lake they will routinely tell the news media where speed traps and DUI location will be set up and they catch people by the dozen any way.

Opionion, its just another way to get your money
