Regardless of whether it's legal or not, I got a question for you: A guy who was going real fast and that you warned slows down and avoids a ticket... as soon as he's past the speed trap he starts speeding again. A few miles down the road, he runs over a kid due to his excessive speed and kills him. Are you in part responsible for the death of that child?

Say someone is coming for the elevator and you don't hold the door for them. Soon after that, they gun down a bunch of people on the street. Are you responsible for their deaths?

This is different. By warning other drivers, you interfered with the system that's in place to prevent people from driving dangerously. If that person had been stopped by the police, chances are he would have slowed down.
Warning other drivers of a speed trap is an irresponsible act. Speed is one of the biggest killers.
To come back to your elevator analogy, let's say that you see that the cable of the elevator is damaged but you don't do anything about it. The cable snaps and plummets to the ground... a few people die. I believe you are partly responsible for their death.
