airjordan223 Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 my step father is the CTO of philadelphia, and he has sent me this e-mail from his sources.... the mayor!! STATE POLICE - NJ TICKETING Here's the latest NJ State Police Initiative (Radio Station 101.5 FM confirmed this info). Starting today, New Jersey will launch a 30-day speeding ticket frenzy. The state estimates that 9 million dollars will be generated in speeding tickets. One million dollars will go to pay state troopers over-time. There will be 50 state troopers on duty at all times patrolling the 9 main intersections and highways as follows: I-295 North and South, I-95 Jersey Turnpike North and South I-80 East and West I-287 North and South I-78 East and West I-195 East and West I-280 East and West Route 130 - North and South Garden State Parkway - North and South 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 to 20 minutes. They have issued 30 brand new unmarked Crown Victoria cruisers and are bringing in all of their part-timers on full time. If you work in NJ, NY, DE or CT, you will probably be on one of these highways. So, please be on guard and drive safely! Starting August 15, the price of a violation to show your driver's license, registration or insurance card at the time you are stopped, increased from $44.00 to $173.00. (Keep these documents in your car). And the fine for not having all three documents is $519.00! The fine for hand-held cell phone use while driving will be going up to $180.00.

I don't take kindly to people who do stuff like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airjordan223 Posted August 14, 2009 Author Share Posted August 14, 2009 yeah we drove around and found the guy writing tickets (the tickets sheet was in his back pocket). so we asked him, "do you know who is writing parking tickets tonight" and he responded clueless. this is also the same place where the cops were found guilty of having a competition for who could write the most tickets and the winner would receive this really expensive bottle of champagne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xeryon Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 Increased fines for infractions IS a tax. Just a different name is all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orca89 Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 Increased fines for infractions IS a tax. Just a different name is all. But it only affects speeders... For the most part. Yes, some innocents will get caught in the drag-net, but for the most part us law-abiding folk aren't affected. And if we are, we can fight back.
