How in the world is anyone distinguishing between a "speed trap" -- which I take to mean any single, ongoing, longtime, relatively frequent positioning of an officer with a speed-measuring device -- and a cop sittiung wherever, whenever, shooting speeds? In other words, the term "speed trap" is thrown around much too loosely. By the sound of what I'm reading here, every single place a cop has ever busted someone for speeding in Torrington is a "speed trap." Which is not the case; just because a cop occasionally decides to shoot some "dar" while eating a donut in the Cumberland Farms does not make it a speed trap. If, however, you see a statey or a local sitting in that Cumby lot two or three times a month shooting radar or laser, THAT'S a speed trap. Driving 60 mph up East Main on your way to Walmart and getting pulled over by a passing or sitting policeman does NOT mean you were busted by a "speed trap." For the record, I've lived in Torrington since 1989 and the ONLY Torrington speed trap that's actually a speed trap is the Route 8 location that is about 2 miles south of Exit 46 (cop/DOT U-turn location), manned about four times a month by a Conn. State Police officer.
