I got a feeling they aren't done.

tax collectors with a gun and an ego. ffx po-po also likes to stand by the ramp onto Roosevelt Bridge in Arlington and pick people out for sticker / registration tickets.
I should probably get my inspection up to date.....

arlington po-po you mean? they are infinitely better than ffx po-po regarding actual traffic violations, but yeah, they'll hit you for expired stuff all over the place.
Re: Drive Safe - G.Irish - 03-09-2010
Yeah I saw some cops staking out one of the off-ramps near Springfield yesterday and last Thursday. Oddly enough there were a TON of cops on 70/76 on Sunday too. I must've seen at least 8 of them on my way to 7 Springs.
Need to get the Tundra's inspection done pronto I guess...

Lol @ VA. Any time I visit I always make sure to drive only at like 5 over max. Although I've seen people pulled over, NC is far less strict especially on interstates where the speed limit is already 70mph.

Cops around here go by the 9 your fine, 10 your mine.
Re: Drive Safe - V1GiLaNtE - 03-09-2010
I saw an assload of cop on 95 south on saturday on the way to Myrtle Beach... ironcially right after the Va/Nc border I saw no cops...
Re: Drive Safe - D_Eclipse9916 - 03-09-2010
So glad I am not rolling around in the eclipse anymore. M3 gets no attention, knock on wood. Im also gone every weekend and only drive a route that cops are never on during the weekdays for work. For times that im not, lexus has done great, woo for old person vehicle.
Re: Drive Safe - NTIman - 03-09-2010
Definitely saw 8 cops between radford and winchester on 81 sunday night
Re: Drive Safe - TorinoCobra070 - 03-09-2010
I can verify the insane amount of police. We saw a ton of state troopers on 81 Saturday. It was ridiculous.

I think we counted something like 11 or 12 state troopers on 81, including one in a red (!?) unmarked Tahoe who had pulled someone over. That was going from Harrisonburg to Buena Vista area.
The article Wrote:Driving as little as 10 to 15 MPH over the limit can qualify for this enhanced punishment.Pretty sure reckless is 20 mph over, or anything above 80.
Re: Drive Safe - Goodspeed - 03-09-2010
I saw three staties in between 245 and 243 on 81 the other day, 2 with people pulled over.

Recently read this op-ed :?
Quote:"When I was a "police officer" back in the early '70s the transformation was just starting to take place from a mentality of a public servant working for the citizens to "law enforcement". The first I noticed of it was when the police departments started preferential hiring of ex-military people returning from Viet Nam. They started introducing military tactics into the department, including the first S.W.A.T. team. They quit referring to people on the street as citizens and started calling them "civilians", or more commonly "assholes".
"They looked for opportunities to use their new toys provided from "federal assistance" monies in the war on drugs. They changed the uniforms from the blue-suited cop with an 8-sided hat with a shield on front to a set of black or navy fatigues and a ball cap. They started shaving their heads and pumping iron. They gave up on the idea that they put themselves in the line of fire to protect and serve the public and took on a combat marine attitude of protect their own above all else. I've known them to murder cop-killers in the street, but have a could-care-less attitude when a civilian is killed."
"I was lied to, lied about and set up when I tried to expose some crooked cops. Things since 1975 have not gotten better. The thugs in uniform now consider themselves to be government agents of a totalitarian regime with limitless authority to enforce the will of the government on all civilian assholes. There are obviously exceptions to that rule, but those would never try to stand in the way of the thugs."
"Sorry, but talk show hosts I have heard that say we don't have to worry about tyranny in this "nation" because our troops would never turn their guns on "Americans". They are wrong. They have never read history. They don't realize the training and brainwashing that takes place in the military now and in the para-military police forces - especially the federales. Just wait until big-O gets his Civilian National Security Force in place and all the local wanna-be LEOs join in with them."
"Buy ammo and remember to aim for the head or neck."

I'd consider it a warning of presence, not proof of an absence of one. It's usually pretty accurate in my area, but someone has to be the first one to report a trap. :wink:
