Thanks for the heads up on this. I commute A LOT and have a heavy foot.

Thanks for the heads up. Looks like i picked the worst weekend ever to go to NYC. The Wilson bridge in DC is going to be down to 1 lane and now this trash in Jersey. If I recall the Turnpike is a "doubled fine" zone.

Just as well I visitied my folks last weekend, crossing through NJ twice.

I mean, let's face it, if you're not doing at least 10MPH over the speed limit, you're gonna get run over out there!

Thanks for the heads up.  The wife goes into Jersey from time to time.
 
Me,  I've gone on record saying, Jersey is a strange and foreign land, with circles, jug handles, and many, many Wawas.  It's best for me to stand on the banks of the Delaware and ponder it's mysteries
 
BTW - I think I know where you got this info, but could you share the source?  (I understand if you're not at liberty to do so).

Highway robbery - except that highway robbers don't follow you around after they rob you, telling you how they are going to "help" you with the money they stole.

Paying officers overtime accruals from convictions they generate is bad policy. Not unlike paying them with seizures from drug busts. If it does not actually cause over reaching by police, it undermines the rule of law because it understandably undermines confidence in the integrity of the cops and the process.

Here in Germany, I found out the hard way that the Polizei collect the cash on the scene.

The government ought to be figuring out ways to move traffic faster, not slower. They should take a page from the Autobahn handbook.

Ultimately, the situation in Jersey will only get worse as over population has its inevitable effects.

This effort started last week. Being in sales, I travel during the day in addition to regular commuting. A BIG difference in the number of radar traps out on the major roads. That's a bummer for someone like me!

Thanks!

I've sent this information to most of my family that still lives in NJ.

Clifton at the GSP on ramp, four cruisers and three motorcycle cops had six cars pulled over in one shot last week.
So this is the real deal.
(Info from my father.)

They have issued 30 brand new unmarked Crown Victoria cruisers and they are bringing in all their part timers on full time.

I call shenanigans. As far as I know, the NJ State Police doesn't have part-timers.

Nice, I will be running through NJ Saturday. I may have to keep it under 80.

Validation....
From my older brother in NJ....



"On the way home we took Rt. 80 to Rt. 15. Saw 4 cars stopped by cops! Usually we might have seen one. So I'm a believer!"
