I have seen alot of cops doing radar and pulling people over
with the budget cuts to all the towns they are going to be
trying to get the money where ever they can.

Drive the speed limit let the other guy get the ticket

The Mass Pike and south of the Pike on 495 have been brutal. A few times in the last month I have seen a single State Trooper in his car tucked away using Laser and then on the other side of the hill, a pack of 3-4 troopers pulling people over.

Don't hold any stock in the theory of getting behind someone driving fast and using them as cover. These guys are pull 2-3 people over at a time.

Hell, on 495, I saw a trooper walk out into the right travel lane and flag down two cars that were tagged by a trooper about 1/5 mile up the road from him.

It's crazy too on that section, I am doing 65-70 in the right lane and I am almost getting my butt rapped out the way in the morning north bound.
Home bound isn't as bad as their seems to be more people on the road at the same time so things slow down.

But morning there at least 1 maybe 2 between 109 and Main St everyday random places.

You think quoting a line from a guy (Robert Blake) who killed his wife the best example to use

JohnnyD · 02-05-2009, 10:04 PM

Instead of all these speed traps, i wish they'd cruise the highways and pull over the nitwits that think they can weave across two lanes of traffic, switch lanes without a blinker or ride so close to the person in front of them that they can smell what they had for dinner last night.

That goes double for the town cops, but with the idiots that blast through red lights, stop signs or don't yield to on-coming traffic when turning left.

I think he had Johnny Cochran defending him and got an acquittal !

Georgetown is starting to get a reputation......every day I see them with somebody pulled over. If you are ever heading through town I would take it easy.

bart · 02-06-2009, 12:55 PM

yup, 495 is brutal. i've seen them with the radar gun a bunch of times....

Saw or got the "tingle".

I haven't seen any increased SP presence on 195 between Wareham and New Bedford.

But, interestingly, I saw a Mattapoisett town cruiser parked on an overpass using radar--at 3 AM.

I thought they were suggestions - who knew

striperman36 · 02-07-2009, 11:54 AM

Thought it was the MINIMUM speed, at least on 495.

Don't find much sympathy from the locals either, man they was mad when they stopped me to talk to them.

they were probably upset you made them get out of their warm cars and forced them to actually do work...
