North Bound 55 Between Victoria and Fair at Night   Costa Mesa, California

Typically a state cop but I have seen the locals lurk there too. They hide in the pullout by the billboard for the toll road. I commute at night so that's when I've seen them the most around 10:30 pm. They may hide there other hours too. Mostly looking for working class people after they enter the freeway from Victoria or 22nd street. That stretch motorists merging usually have to do so pretty hot since A-holes from Newport like to hog the slow lane and try to block mergers. High end vehicles from Newport hauling butt seem to exempt from the speed laws in that area.
