Texas reigning king of speed traps

The Watchdog.org Texas bureau expanded on a recent report that lists the Lone Star State (yes, our beloved oasis of economic freedom and individual responsibility) as the most likely place in the United States to get caught speeding.

It may have more to do with population and size, as California, Florida, and Ohio also round out the top of the list. Smaller states would, logically, have fewer "speed traps" and fewer citations issued.

But we'll let Watchdog Texas off easy this time:

Texas is infested with more speed traps than any other state, according to a new study by the National Motorists Association. 

The NMA compiled five years of data from a website it maintains, The National Speed Trap Exchange, and found Texas had far and away the highest speed trap count, with 1383 locations. 

The list falls off quickly, with Cali[f]ornia in second at 1076, Florida in third at 792 and Ohio in fourth with 680.
