I was heading to school today for my last final, when I saw a pretty funny looking speed trap set up on the other side of the road (university blvd. in central FL, big road). Out alongside the road was a guy dressed up in a elf costume, complete with pointy ears and goofy shoes, standing behind a radar gun on a tripod disguised as a Christmas tree. In the front of the 'tree' hung a sign that said something like "help an elf, slow down".
Speed limit is 45, but traffic usually flows around 55. You can imagine how many people were getting pulled over ("we don't have quotas!"). On my way home a got a closer look, and saw that they had a full squad of motorcycle cops waiting on a side street, and a whole parking lot being used for the people who got pulled over. It looked like they had 8 or 9 cars waiting for a ticket when I passed by. Heh.
