Trapster is a service developed and run by Pete Tenereillo of Carlsbad, California, and is essentially a cell-phone social network that allows motorists to hook up with one another for the purpose of issuing real-time alerts about the location of speed traps.

Long straight roads and low speed limits.

What do they use for bait?
Like a leg hold trap, there's no need for bait if they're placed along normal travel routes.

Nice application, but if it gets too popular, police can monkeywrench it just by issuing false alerts.
It also relies on a GPS-enabled phone broadcasting its location. Otherwise, the system wouldn't know when subscribers enter an alert area.
