Important FYI

[Vol67]

fyi...

For the lead-foots among us.....

Tennessee will launch a 30-day speeding ticket frenzy beginning July 31, 2005.
The state of Tennessee estimates that 9 million dollars will be generated
in speeding tickets. 1 million will go to pay state troopers overtime. There
will be 57 state troopers on duty at all times patrolling.

They will be patrolling the following:

I-24 east and west
I-40 east and west
I-65 north and south
I-75 north and south

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. I was told 101.5 FM confirmed all of
this.

That 5-mile-over thing could get sticky. Could we make up a chart for some of the Alabama people passing through?

Limit : Drive
----------------------
55 : 60
60 : 65
65 : 70
70 : 75

Might make in-roads on the Fulmer/SEC jail hurts.

Thanks. I'll be passing through on August 7.

Thanks Vol67. You know, seeing things like this makes me glad to be an American. Are we going to get the Hammer and Sickle on the state flag next?

I suspect those brave men who were fighting at Saratoga were thinking, " You know I am going to fight this war and win, so the state can come down hard on people who commit misdemeanors". Why can't we have crackdowns on drugs like this or instead of this.
