I know Michigan has its problems but fortunately speed traps don’t seem to be one of them. Probably due to the ubiquitous signs in MI that warn of a speed change just ahead. I live in a sort of touristy area that could easily rake in money hand over fist by doing this, but they don’t. there are plenty of citiots (city+idiot= citiot) they could put the serious butthurt on but don’t. I hope it’s enlightened self interest by the village councils.

I think the trucking industry would disagree. Michigan sets the speed limit on their Interstates at 60 mph knowing that most company owned semi's are governed at 62. They write thousands of tickets for one or two miles over the limit. Michigan is notorious for this.
I was going through Raymond, WA about 28 years ago and paranoid about getting a speeding ticket in a small town. I was careful not to go one mile over throughout the town, not adjusting my speed to higher limits until I actually passed the new sign.
The speed went from 55 to 45, to 35, to 25, to 35, 45 and back to 55. As I was in the last 45 mph zone, I noticed a cop following me and just as I was reaching the edge of town he hit the blues. He told me I had been doing 50 in the 35. I proceeded to tell him exactly what the speed limits were throughout the town and each place they changed and I was painstakingly careful to not speed by even one mph through the entire town.
He didn’t write me a ticket and let me go.
