Police speed warning trailers

[Tfall]

My high score on those is 95 by my kids school.....

I remember that we got one to hit 99...it would not show triple digits. Not in a school zone though.

City of Cary here in North Carolina used to put inflatable police cars on the side of the road.

I think it might have a camera on board as it looked they were hooked to it trying to down load something before moving it ... if so how do you talk you way out of that one to the judge lol .. police lights on it light up and show your speed as you approach it if your speeding

I know the new ones record everything and have license plate recognition and have the ability to mail you tickets, but KY law here prevents the tickets from being issued. The City of Louisville just took delivery of 9 of them for $80,000.

Strict Kentucky laws prohibit officers from ticketing drivers unless they see the violation first hand.

So you won't get a ticket in the mail with your picture on it but you may see an extra officer on the street if the violations keep happening.

"We're able to put one of these machines out, collect the data and then deploy our resources appropriately. We know where the speeding is occurring and we know where we need to go to focus our enforcement efforts," Schwab said.

This week, the solar panel powered machines will sit in school zones warning drivers to slow down around students.

But in the coming weeks, the machines will find new homes. LMPD plans to deploy them in the city's most problematic speed zones.

They should set those things up so if your going more than 10 over...it automatically does a low grade taze in the the ass of your drivers seat.

So they need to spend 80k to verify the already known problem areas LOL. Good ole KY.

Translation: the city received a state or federal grant and needed to blow the money on something.

probably paying cash for a new Ranger while updating his Fecebook status about it

Probably shopping interest rates.

Well the kicker is that since the machines can't write tickets, the machines CAN tell them which vehicles are repeat offenders so they can set traps for them.....kind of like Roscoe P. Coltrane trying to trap them Duke boys all the time.

Lot of truth to that! Marshall County KY did that with the stupid Sheriff's boat they got a grant for through homeland security........it's only out there on Kentucky Lake during the week from like 10 am to 2 pm, it's never out there when it NEEDS to be out there, like on the weekends.

The ones here now say Thank You! when you pass by under the posted speed limit. I wonder if that's a southern thing?

[JerryT]

Hard to believe someone ran it over considering Massachusetts is known for it’s driving skills.

Good one coming from Florida and a guy who whines he can’t park without someone hitting it

A good friend of mine was remodeling a property he bought to turn it into a gun shop. He had a large construction dumpster about half full of sheet rock and floor covering materials. A cop friend of ours came into the shop while were were moving some machines into the workshop, and told us a hilarious tale from the night before.

911 received a call from a female driver claiming she'd been hit at an intersection while stopped and needed assistance. Police arrived to find a car, disabled, against the construction dumpster. Officer knocked on the window and asked female if she called 911. Female said "yeah, that guy hit me". The officer explained to the female that she was the one who hit the "vehicle" in front of her, but the "vehicle" was actually a very large dumpster that was parked against the curb. That's when he started conducting a field sobriety test. She failed.

Pushed the dumpster that was sitting on the road about 18"

Town I live in received a fed grant years ago and put a road in the middle of no where's. It can not be accessed and dead ends along the banks of a river. Only good thing is it doesn't require maintaining.

The boot hung in there.

Like roaches after an atomic blast.

[Transom]

I love it when they put one exactly 1/4 mile from a stop sign

I see what you did there, I thought I was the only one to call him that.

[Perchpro]

I had one say "too fast" once. I was maybe 30 over.
