Known enforcement areas

I just bought a Garmin Nuvi 2598 with lifetime maps and traffic. On my old Nuvi 2460 I used to use Trapster to download Red Light Cameras. Tried to use Trapster with the new Nuvi, but found that they're out of business, so I found my way here. Trapster also had files for known enforcement areas (police hiding places), but I don't see those available here. Am I missing something?

Just a wild guess based on some causal observations:
• Police spend far less time in the published locations than the original poster thought they did.
• Once a location becomes well known, police completely stop using it.

There are a few POI's for speed traps, but I don't know if there's one comprehensive file for the whole country. Here's an example, for I95:

To find more, search "speed traps" (no quotes) on the POI file search, there are 3 pages worth of results

Thanks for the replies. The

Thanks for the replies. The speed trap POIs were particularly handy when used along with a radar detector. When the detector goes off as you approach a known speed trap you can be pretty sure it's not a false detector reading.
