Fair warming that police are out in full force waiting to ticket local drivers in order to keep streets safe . . . And boost lagging municipal government revenue. Sadly, taxes on a lead foot are perfectly legal. Read more:
Interstate 435 speed enforcement by Overland Park Police results in 67 citations from weekend
The Overland Park Police Department revealed some astonishing numbers from its continued enforcement efforts in the construction zone between U.S. 69 and Metcalf Avenue. OPPD said during three different enforcement dates, their department and the Kansas Highway Patrol have stopped 187 vehicles and issued 222 citations on these lanes.
You can beat them at their own game, just drive 55 through the construction zone. I'ts only a mile long so about 65 seconds.
ReplyDeleteFuck the police
ReplyDeletecoming straight from the OP
a young cracker got it bad
cuz he's speedy
So, the police stop speeders and give them a ticket. Does this stop them from speeding or otherwise breaking the law? Answer: Not at all.
ReplyDeleteSame thing happens with drunk drivers being pulled over and sometimes jailed. They pay the fine and are released back into society to put everyone at risk. Again.
Waste of time.
I get enforcement on 435 and work zones.
ReplyDeleteWhat I don't understand is Leawood PD obsession with policing State Line from 95th to 103rd. I heard someone got a ticket for going 5 over a few months ago.
Total waste of time and doesn't make the roads "safer". Just a revenue-building tactic. And Leawood PD doesn't have much to do, clearly.
Don't forget, most of these speeding tickets will be reduced to non moving violations that allow you to pay a legal bribe, or baksheesh to the locals doubling the fine and in revenue enhancement cities like Basehor the court costs are also doubled.
ReplyDeleteMission writes more tickets than any other city in JOCO, Edwardsville leads WYCO in the revenue enhancement department and pretty much everywhere in Leavenworth County with the possible exception of Tonganoxie are all revenue enhancement communities, including the Sheriffs Department.
The Lake Quivera PD also runs speed traps quite frequently.
ReplyDeleteWhat is a speed trap? You see the speed limit sign, you don't exceed the posted speed
DeleteYeah, Johnson Drive by the old Mission Mall they are always patrolling that area, hiding, etc.
ReplyDeleteIllegals are catch and release. Me no speaka the english!
ReplyDeleteConstruction zone tickets start at $250 and go up from there. Drive 55 on 435!
