Speed Traps- are they legal?

Police generally obtain permission from the property owner when setting up a speed observation point. Very few business owners will deny permission. They want to stay on the good side of the local department. I have seen police sit in residential driveways to watch for people blowing through stop signs. I saw a Hampton cop ticket a couple dozen cars in a few hours in a housing plan doing that.

Hell I have offered my driveways to cops for the purpose of catching speeder along my road, more times than I can remeber.
