Removed the following:

However, a more recent analysis of traffic charges in Iowa by The Gazette reveals that University Heighs is not actually a speed trap.

A quick check of the reference and data on which The Gazette's claim was based (the database is available on the website) revealed it to be false: there are multiple entries for speeding in an under-55 zone at 1-5 mph over the limit, and in total there are hundreds of citations, not just one.

Reverting the above edit. Doing a search for "55 MPH OR LESS (1 THRU 5 OVER) -" in Johnson county reveals exactly one result: CAUROS, TRACY ELLEN.

If there is some mistake in my logic above, please point out the exact method of search you are using to determine that there are cites I am missing. The Gazette's own analysis indicates that University Heights "really isn't one" in reference to a speedtrap. (I don't want to quote more than that here out of respect for Wikipedia's copyright policy)

Additionally, the article that indicates University Heights is a speed trap is 4 years old while the data the Gazette gathered is much more recent. I think its wise to list both articles to give a balanced view. --12.207.36.177 16:29, 3 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

A little more looking shows that there is a separate speed category further down the search list for: SPEED 1-5 FOR 10,15,20,25 & 45 MPH ZONES. This search yields 91 results, however, the data indicates that those tickets were written by the Iowa City police department. (The first two digits in the case number is the agency that wrote the ticket. IC is Iowa City. A quick check of Iowa Courts Online showed that tickets written by the University Heights Police Department would have case numbers starting with UH) --12.207.36.177 16:59, 3 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
