This is a good trap. The Canton cops usually sit at the IGA grocery store waiting for someone to drive by. So, you think you're safe coming toward the officer because he's shooting radar the other way, right? Very wrong. These cops whip around and fly after you. I saw it happen recently to a driver that thought the officer was going to pull over a driver in the other direction. The cop slammed on his brakes in front of me, turned around, hit his lights, and caught up to that unlucky guy so fast. I think the speed limit is under 35, so beware.
