You didn't bust it, it's still there.
Keep telling yourself it's not about the $$$.

"They were named speed traps in 1995 following a AAA investigation that found profit — not safety — was the primary motivation for issuing tickets.
In Waldo, the police department was eventually found to have been issuing speeding tickets based on quotas. The force was disbanded in 2014 and the
Alachua County Sheriff’s Office now handles traffic enforcement."
And closer to home, after seeing my local police all driving in all their new police cruisers from the new red light camera ticket revenue they got, they got a wake up call.
The red light cameras were deemed a nuisance and a for profit system and they were taken down ( I was a part of that thank you very much). Now for some odd reason we seem
to be seeing more side of the road tax collectors looking for that cash from speeders now that they lost all that red light $$$. What a coincidence. Sorry but it's not a secret
any more that police use tickets (especially easy to give ones like speeding) as a source of income for their dirty pockets.
