3 years ago, when Lakeway resident Lance Mitchell launched his website, SpeedTrapAhead.org, he didn't hide his intentions.
"Not a lot of people flash their lights to warn others nowadays," he wrote. "But, I DO! And when I see a speed trap, I go back up the road a bit, and stand on the sidewalk, wearing my SpeedTrapAhead T-shirt."

Mitchell also started chronicling his own occasional acts of civil disruption, often accompanied by self-produced video. On April 22, 2009 he was arrested, handcuffed and detained for 13 hrs.
