The problem with cops is when they are used primarily to enhance revenues for their government agency instead of trying to make the roads and communities safer. Maynard /// or try http://www.team.net

You'll see this in action if you ever make a plea deal on a traffic ticket. If I get caught speeding, I get caught speeding. Yes, the limits may be set artificially low, etc., but when I get nailed

By 'artificially low' I mean that most speed limits are set in an arbitrary fashion. A well done federal study showed that speed limits should be set to the 85th percentile speed. You knock off the

In NJ, speed limits on ALL roads are set by the State DOT. We had an interesting issue with the main road through our development - state requirements would have set the speed limit at 40 mph - this

It would be interesting to see if anyone gets a ticket for going 40 in a 25 and how the city would prosecute it -- seeing as how the signs are invalid. Cool idea though -- and I agree with the idea

In geophysics -- a science whose data is frequently contaminated with noise -- we frequently use what is called an 'alpha trim mean', especially in data scaling. In that case, the 'alpha' parameter
