yea... moto cops are hard to spot. I see about 6 (no joke) of them daily walking back to my apartment from UCI (which is about a 10 minute walk). I also saw one sitting at the shoulder of the 5south at like 8pm? I thought motorcycle cops were only on duty during the day time..

I got caught by a motorcycle cop recently. He was hiding under a bridge on the I-15.. It was cloudy humid (almost about to rain) but it was almost dark out... They had a trap setup there.

Just got the bill too... $192 for 92 in a 70. Luckily RIV county allows traffic school for tickets up to 99mph.

Also, on the 55 I've seen motorcycle cops hiding under the bridge late at night too. I always tought the same about the darkness but I think it definitely isn't so. Time for X50 pretty soon.
