1) Good:
A policeman in Stowe, VT had a perfect spot to watch for speeders,
but wasn't getting many.
Then he discovered the problem. A twelve-year-old boy was standing
up the road with a hand-painted sign, which read "RADAR TRAP
AHEAD". The officer then found a young accomplice down the road
with a sign reading "TIPS" and a bucket full of money.
(And we kids used to just sell lemonade!)

2) Better:
A motorist was mailed a picture of his car speeding through an
automated radar post near Bellow's Falls. A $90 speeding ticket was
included.
Being cute, Eric sent the police department a picture of $90.
The police responded with another mailed photo of handcuffs.

3) Best:
A young woman was pulled over for speeding. As the Vermont
State Trooper walked to her car window, flipping open his ticket
book, she said, "I bet you're going to sell me a ticket to the
State Troopers Ball."
He replied, "Vermont State Troopers don't have balls."
There was a moment of silence while she smiled, and he realized
what he'd just said. He then closed his book, got back in his
patrol car and left. She was laughing too hard to start her car.
