Radar hot-spots

Why is a radar hot-spot a news item?
I've seen them talked about on the morning news shows, heard it on news bites from the radio, and seen it on the site for the Savannah Morning News.

Honestly, I don't agree with telling people where police will be checking speed.
I feel like it doesn't encourage people to follow the law.
I know that when I hear where the hot spots will be, I become extra cautious about my speed in those areas. I'm not encouraged to watch my speed all day. I'm just encouraged to be sure that in my 45 minute drive to school, to be sure that i'm not speeding on Abercorn.

But anyways, I really don't think it's the best thing to publicize. Sure, compulsive speeders thank you, but I feel like it does more of a dis-service to the public in the long run.
