There are several radar/laser networks already.

* Trapster is the most popular one with manual reporting.

* RadarActive hooks up to an actual detector (Valentine One, considered by many to be the best) to automatically report radar/laser detections.

* Some of the high end Passport detectors and possibly others have GPS and trap databases, but not in real time AFAIK. You have to hook it up to a computer to update the database, so it's only useful for fixed traps like red light / speed cameras.

I hope the networks don't get too fragmented, because the real power lies in the network effects. You need a critical mass of users/detectors reporting for it to be useful.
