Don't complain about speeding

If you don't want to get a ticket yourself. From The Tacoma, WA News Tribune:
Turns out complainers do their share of speeding
Some Auburn neighbors complaining of speeders in their quiet neighborhoods streets have met the enemy and discovered it is themselves.

With help from a toaster-sized box called the Stealth Stat Machine, police are responding to complaints and catching speeders.

And the lead-foots aren’t from out of town.

Take Evergreen Way Southeast near Lakeland Hills Elementary School in the Lakeland Hills neighborhood. Auburn police set up shop there a few weeks ago, and 21 of the 24 violators ticketed were residents of that neighborhood.
And this little gem:
In another area, police reportedly ticketed a woman who had called them about the speeding on her street.

Her reaction, according to police? “But I was the one who complained!”
