Not sure if its true but...

FYI - ALL YOU SPEEDERS OUT THERE!!!!

Heads Up for what it's worth ~just saw this; Michigan will launch a 30-day
speeding ticket frenzy. The state estimates that 9 million dollars will be
generated in speeding tickets. 1 million will go to pay state troopers
overtime. There will be 50 state troopers on duty at all times patrolling
the 6 main intersections and highways.

I-75 north and south
I-94 (from Ann Arbor to Port Huron)
entire length of I-696
I-275 north and south
M-10 Lodge Fwy
I-96 from Detroit West to M-14

Now, 5 mph above the limit can justify a ticket and every state trooper is
supposed to pull a car over and write a ticket every 10 minutes. They have
issued 30 brand new unmarked Crown Victoria cruisers and they are bringing
all their part timers on full time. If you work anywhere in the Detroit
Metropolitan area, you must take one of there interstates, routes, or
parkways. It's up to you how fast you are doing when they do.


Wear your seat belt, nothing hanging from the rear view mirror, do the
speed limit (not a mile over) use cruise control if you have it, no cracks
in your windshield, use your turn signals.

Re: Not sure if its true but...

Hell I drive from 11 gratiot to lansing at 3:00pm on 696 to 96 and see about 6 troopers along the way, couple in southfield and a few after fowlerville towards lansing. Leaving work at 2am I see twice as many at night and at least 5 cars pulled over. Have been driving 5 over everyday and night, even been radard and hit by the laser at 5 over but no lights yet, KNOCK ON WOOD.

Well I haven't heard anything about this yet. As for them bringing on all part time as full time, MSP does not have part time troopers. I also asked a local trooper about this today to confirm if it is true. He hasn't heard anything yet.
