Are traffic policemen allowed to hide?

Can they hide in a parking lot or behind a car just to catch someone speeding, etc. ? Or is that not supposed to be done?

Hey you think that is bad...they have installed RED LIGHT CAMERAS at intersections....when you go through a red it snaps a picture and if you've gone through, you get a ticket in the mail....see ya in court...that either makes you comply or gets you plenty of tickets and off the road!! ;~)

UMMM yes.
If you get caught speeding.... then who cares who caught you and where they were.
YOU WERE SPEEDING!
You broke the law get a ticket. quit talking on your cell phone.

Yes. They do that all the time and there are hidden photo radar cameras too. The speed limit is posted and if you don't follow it, you are guilty. It doesn't matter how they catch you.


As Real As It Gets
They certainly can.

If you aren't breaking the law, then you don't have to worry about whether they're hiding or not.

They are not only allowed to, they are told to stay out of sight.


reborn.rebel
Sure they can. Heck, police officers hide in trees to watch for drunk drivers! (I am not lying...)


remowlms
They do it all the time - no law against it, but if it is private property the property owner can tell them to leave.

If they aren't I have some $$$ due me.

Yes they can. Many people try to say this is "entrapment," but entrapment is if you entice someone to do something illegal and then arrest them for it. If you are speeding, you are breaking the law of your own free will, and they have a right to park anywhere that is public property to catch you. (p.s. Many parking lots are private. This has been used before to get tickets thrown out of court.)
