Honaunau, Hawaii Speed Traps
State Hwy Mile Marker 97
I was pulled over in the same spot as the Japanese grandmother, singled out of a group, lazered at 42, and issued a ticket in excess of $100. Me, I look Portuguese (which I am) but sound Californian (which I am), so I guess I didn’t qualify the apology that the Japanese lady got (I think we were clocked at the same speed.) The officer asked a lot of questions: the last 4 numbers of my soc sec, my home ph, my cell ph, my employer, was I in the military? There were 2 unmarked SUVs, one on either side of the road, and they were catching them like flies.

Large pullout not easily visible until too late, both directions, speed limit 35, most going ~50, looking for tourist cars, however they pulled my 84 year old Mother-in Law over out of a group, driving a ‘New’ Honda Fit White color going 42 and then appologised when they saw she was local, of Japanese origin.
