Default WARNING TO PA DRIVERS

I received this info from a reliable source:

Pennsylvania State Police will launch a 30-day speeding ticket frenzy throughout the state starting February 1, 2006. The State estimates that 22 million dollars will be generated in speeding tickets. 3 million will go to pay Trooper overtime costs and benefits. There will be 150 State Troopers on duty during all shifts patrolling the highways. Significant radar enforcement will occur along the I-70, I-76, I-79, I-80, I-81, I-83, I-84, and I-90 corridors.

Motorists traveling 6 mph or more above the limit will receive a ticket and every State Trooper is supposed to pull a car over and write a ticket every 10 minutes.

Pennsylvania has activated 50 new unmarked cruisers of various makes and models for this pilot program to raise extra funds and meet mandated quotas . The Pennsylvania State Legislators dreamed up this program to help offset the additional funding required to hire 60 new Troopers.

so it'd be nice if they handed out tickets to actually inforce somthing rather then for a quick buck. stupid cops.

maybe they should go out and catch real criminals, how many stolen cars, break ins, violence related attacks go unsolved cuz they dont do squat. Cops suck the police force is nothing but a silent tax

well potentially all those cars that are speeding could be criminals, the car could be stolen, they could be carrying drugs or other illegal things/people . so its a step forward

Most criminals or car thieves or drug dealers are smart enough NOT to speed.

They need to crack down on drugs around here, Butler High School is nationally known as "heroine high"... we're one of the most drug populated areas in the states... and all they're worried about is speeding.
