Retards. I'd be really ticked if I was one of the people ticketed.

That's just wrong. I wonder what 4theheckofit (Peter) thinks about it.

Big deal, I know a bunch of cops

Most of them just give tickets when they're bored or things are really slow.

Either don't get caught, or don't speed

Wow, this is like a Golden ticket for getting out of a ticket in Charlotte.

It's pretty safe to say that if you got a ticket during that time, go before a judge and it will get thrown out

fair enough, but what if they just start pulling over just for small things that they usually let go.

front plate
going 5mph over
exhaust being too loud
headlights being to bright (has happened to me before)

The other day my older brother called me from Phoenix. Turns out they were shutting down all speeders on the 101. They had one car very hidden away that was shooting with two hands. A few hundred yards down they had 15 police cars either waiting or currently writing a ticket. Greg's got a Passport in his Tacoma, and when he started getting little blips of KA he dropped from 71ish down to about 67 (speed limits 65). The little chick in the Accord sped off, completely oblivious to it. As he drove by the last car in line merged onto the freeway and promptly pulled her over.

I'm just wondering how frequently that kinda thing happens.
