Yeah right. Except that if you drive around the country enough you’ll find out that speed trap towns are usually small towns with nothing better to do. One pharmacy, a subway, 2 gas stations but 5 cruisers waiting for you to go over the silly 30mph limit imposed right after the crest of a bridge.

Speed traps aren’t because they have nothing better to do, it’s because it’s a non-trivial revenue stream for small towns that get a decent amount of through-traffic.
What is WITH that subway? Military bases, small towns, everywhere.
They're the franchise with the cheapest entry fee other than Chick-fil-a.
