A Heads up for my Michigan Buddies
 

Just thought I'd give all of my Michigan buddie's a word of warning.
The State Boy's will be out in full force during the month of February on a 30 day ticket frenzey.
Got word from a friend of mine that our first lady ordered over 50 troopers to patrol our highways 24/7 , she even got the part timers out to give tickets.
The E - Mail stated that they canpull you over for doing 5 miles over the limit and even a cracked windshield and not using your turn signal.
They gotta bunch of new unmarked Ford Crown Victoria's cruiser's so they gotta make the money to pay for them.
Here's a list of highways they will be patroling thoughtout the month I - 75 north and south , I - 94 between Ann Arbor and Port Huron , the entire I - 96 and I - 696 , I - 275 north and south and the M - 10 Lodge freeway.
So watch your speed , buckle up and make sure you use your turn signal's.

I can confirm this from a buddy of mine who works at the Capital. Seems its not just to pay for the new Vics but also to help with a little revenue.

RE: A Heads up for my Michigan Buddies
 

Yea ... about 9 million dollars worth.

RE: A Heads up for my Michigan Buddies
 

Yeah so ya better watch out. I'll be the one driving the shiney, new Crown Vic.
RESPECT MY AUTHORITIE!!!

RE: A Heads up for my Michigan Buddies
 

With all due respect , there was no offence intended in my reply.
I asked that question because you showed so much intrest on the source of info.
You did get the E - mail I sent you , didn't you ?

Hey RD. Called my cousin in Hillsdale... The State Boy that can hunt on everybody's land cause they won't tell him no LOL. Seems that crackdowns are happening at a few posts around the state due to lack of ticket writers. They say there is no such thing as a quota anymore but, if you have a bunch of nice cops out there not writing tickets, it's hard for that command post to say that they are doing their jobs. So, IMO it's not a crackdown on the drivers, it's a crackdown on the troopers that aren't getting out of their cars cause it's cold out LOL!!!!!!! [:-]
