OP has been updated. Thanks for the contributions - after culling through all the posts its pretty obvious that the cops love I-280 (both directions, particularly around the intersection with 85), the intersection of 101 & 92, and the exit to the caldecott tunnel on 24. I'll update the list as folks add new traps.

Too many to list. Anyhow, I'm done shooting LIDAR for a while. I'm transfering to an inspection facility. I'll be a trucker f*cker now.

i almost forgot about these two on 101 in Marin County:
- CHP likes to hide along the
. There is a hedge in front of the onramp so the only part of the cruiser you can see is the driver side window, radar gun, and lights up top. Very sneaky.
- almost every time i'm on 101N i see a cruiser parked at one of the three exits between Mill Valley and Corte Madera.
