Yup. It's all about the Benjamins. Coming home from Falmouth, 9:15 in the evening, no cars on the road, there's a Bourne cruiser parked lights out on Rte 28 just before the dump, radar on. I've seen them in the evening hours, in light traffic conditions, parked with their lights out on the shoulder of Scenic Highway and on Sandwich Road. I've seen more cars pulled over in Bourne in the last 3 months than in all of the last 3 years. Same deal on Cranberry Highway in East Wareham.

Coming home from NY at 3 AM a couple of months ago, there was a Marion cruiser parked on a 195 overpass, radar gun pointed out the passenger side window.

I never do more than 5 over on the highways and try to keep it within a few mph of the limit on secondary roads.

They're going to be having a field day with tickets during tourist season. Be advised.

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.
