Speeding ticket frenzy in May?

I don't know if this has already been posted, but wanted to let everyone know. I don't know if it is true or not...

Copied from Tristatetuners.com and I guess someone got it from the DSM forums.


I was doing an install last week for a New Jersey State trooper. While I was there, he told me that starting this Monday, May 2, Jersey will launch a 30 day speeding ticket frenzy. The state estimates that 9 million dollars will be generated in speeding tickets. 1 million will go to pay state troopers over time. There will 50 state troopers on duty at all times patrolling the 9 main intersections and highways. They are the following:



I-295 north and south

1-95 (Jersey Turnpike) north and south

1-80 east and west

I-287 north and south

I-78 east and west

1-195 east and west

1-280 east and west

Rt. 130 north and south

Garden State Parkway north and south



I’m warning everyone now that 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 are bring in all their part timers on full time. If you work in New Jersey, New York, or CT, you must take one of there interstates, routes, or parkways. It’s up to you how fast you are doing when they do. I was told 101.5 FM confirmed all of this. So be safe and don’t forget speeding tickets are on you. You’ve been warned. Good Luck

this was advertised last march... then heard it again for april...
asked the neighbor who troops.. its his first time hearing it..
and.. every 10 minutes.. .. doesnt it take him that long to if not longer to do the entire process....
im on those roads except 280 often with several of them on a daily basis and havent really seen any increase from the norm...
this is in comparison with the last several years of this quarter..
