When I read this, it reminded me of just one of the many reasons I am happy to have gotten the Hell out of NY. Fuckin revenuers! Down here in Free America the cops leave you alone unless you are doing really stupid and dangerous shit.

Have you seen how they drive in NY lately
80 on a 55 expressway around Roch
55 or more in a 35
Flipped over cars in a 35. How the fuck do you flip your car in a 35??
They are nuts out there

Just wait for the cars that'll issue you a ticket by automation... Like Murder Death Kill (movie), hahahaha!

Is validation that it is and never was about "safety" enforcement, but "revenue" generation... End of story!

Want enforcement, compliance? Go after the auto manufactures that with today's technology, can physically place the vehicle AND limit it's speed, especially in critical zones like schools!!! It's all bullshit! Nothing but $ grab...

I was an alternate on a civil jury less than 10 years ago, injury from car accident.

Toyota rep testified there was a secret, hidden black box in all their vehicles that tracks all types of movement of vehicle and all time stamped independent of vehicle electrical system.

I set cruise at between 78-80 mph on the Thruway, and constantly have people making me look like I'm driving like a little old biddy, running right up my bumper as I'm passing a slow moving truck. (I'll speed up a little for those that give me some space, but the assholes that come right up on me can wait) Even the State Troopers don't seem to even care unless it's 20-25 mph over the posted 65.

Given that, I'm guessing that many of these were on secondaries, and a huge amount were nuisance, BS "your tail light is out" violations in the name of justifying mandatory holiday overtime. Probably a lot of minor fender benders with "following too close, and too fast for conditions" here too.

• 4,374 tickets were issued for speeding
• 192 were issued for the move over law
• 824 were issued for seatbelt
• 966 were issued for drug or alcohol impairment
• 514 were issued for distracted driving
• 13,844 were issued for other violations

....crackdown on impaired driving for the Labor day weekend, over 20,000 tickets were issued by police....



If that's the goal I'm ok with it. Fuck drunk drivers. In a lot of cases I think tickets are BS, but drunk driving isn't one of the BS items. Party, have a good time, whatever... just don't fucking drive while you're on the sauce.

Well no gun arrests, so the arrestees deserved it, and more...........crazy libs and illegals.

I am happy.

During a recent trip to Ohio on I 90/I 271, the speeds were a steady 90+ near Cleveland and south. Like a race.

Few cops, and no NYS overhead spy trestles.

NYS's t-way rest stops are a crime; smaller,shittier and all $$$ kickbacks go to the T-way authority crime family.

At the rest stops, I thought I was in either Pakistan, or Mexico..........NO AMERICANS

13,844 were issued for other violations; what were the "other"?

I hope the popo had fishing licenses for this kind of catch.

I thought all we had to do was pass laws to stop criminals. You know gun control and all.
