Next Gen “Fuzz Busters”
Posted by goodmind on April 3rd, 2008
For anyone seeking an excuse to splurge on a GPS enabled cellphone, let Trapster Mobile Service be your rationalization. It takes a “networked approach” to reporting speed traps, feeding information to maps, and alerting motorists to nearby police presence before it’s too late. Trapster is free of charge, and easy enough to use whether reporting or receiving reports; a critical factor in the success of most user-backed programs.
While the upfront investment in a GPS phone (and wireless data plan) may be offset by avoiding speeding tickets, be wary of accruing other types of traffic citations when using the Trapster service. In states where it is illegal to use a cellphone sans wireless headset, Trapster’s functional reliance on the “pound-1″ keystroke is unlikely to impress state troopers, no matter how slow you’re going.
