Well, then, it seems to me that they need something to do. Let’s pass this law, then send them to Kennett Square. The illegals working the mushroom farms will occupy them for months.
Fast Eddie is gone soon...

It’s possible that someone may show Todd Eachus a prison door.

Interestingly, Pennsylvania is the only state in the nation that actually forbids all law enforcement except State Troopers from running radar. Local cops and sheriffs are prohibited, and thus only rarely found with a stopwatch and two white lines on the road timing how fast cars are going. Additionally, State Troopers can only use stationary, not moving radar.
Every so often a bill comes up to lift the restriction but it’s always been defeated because we don’t want speed traps here.
And guess what? Our traffic accidents aren’t any higher than normal.
And of course, it’s always a RAT who introduces the bill to lift the restriction. All they want is to raise revenue.
I wish I had someone like Metcalfe was my state rep. No, I have swamp thing Kula. The person who as a judge cost my mom from getting unemployment checks and let the person that attacked my brother go off free. Plus, she got a brand new car after she was elected and guess who payed for it. I did. I had to pay for her car and I am paying for her paycheck and that makes me sick. What has she done for my area? NOTHING. I am tired of politicians like her and sadly I live in a dodo area that voted her into office. Her yard sign says for the people, more like for herself.
Hmmm...not sure about that since a Conewago township cop nailed me last year on radar doing 73 in a 65 zone. He had his camera pointed straight at me as I came across a slight rise on the highway, with him sitting just on the other side of the crest.
Also, Route 15 between Harrisburg and Gettysburg is just one big speedtrap, ESPECIALLY around York Springs and the Gettysburg Outlet Mall, for both troopers and township cops, out to make their quotas.
You got a ticket for 8 over? That's ridiculous. As for the statement, I've seen it other places too but here's one vouching its validity:
I've also read that no police department in Pennsylvania is authorized to use laser.
Maybe if this bill comes up after November when Eddie is out and a (hopefully) Republlican governor is elected. Of course, it would also depend on who is in control of the state legislature.
I’m pretty sure PA’s law enforcement officers are already doing this. Every month I hear about troopers busting illegals on I-80. They pull ‘em over for traffic violations, find no ID, and arrest them.
Good for PA. In MD, the pols got so greedy and the cops got so lazy that they even went a step beyond manning radar guns. Now, they have a law that if you have your wipers on and not your headlights, you can be flagged over and fined. How’s that for shameful, slothful jack-boot fund raising?
Also, that little cop in Conewago definitely had some sort of device pointed at me that morning. I saw it clear as day, and when he pulled me over, he said he had "clocked" (whatever that means in the context of this discussion) me at 73 MPH.
Perhaps he was bending the law, knowing full well that I would just send in a check for $90 rather than spend $200 for a traffic lawyer to beat his ticket?
I wouldn’t call it an “immigration bill” as the lame-stream press likes to label things as innocuous and innocent - Arizona’s new law is a “repel the invaders” law!!!
Yep...8 miles over. $90 ticket, including court costs that were of course, never incurred.
I agree, it does not make sense to call it an immigration bill. Immigrants are not affected by it, only illegal aliens are. There would be no change in the immigration process or application. It mirrors the federal law, that somehow isn't racist. If immigrants or the immigration process is not affected, it makes no sense to me why it is called an immigration law.
>I would just send in a check for $90<
That’s your first mistake. Appear before the judge and say your piece!
Boy I hope so. That the legislator would even consider this is a plus...Hey, the border states are in a bad way and the federal government did nothing (another reason not to rely on the federal government). Voters are tired of paying for everybody..It’s time to act.
Well, I was traveling through Conewago on business at the time, and to return and fight the ticket would have cost me much more than $90, including a missed day of work and expenses, plus whatever extra cost the magistrate would have added to the fine for contesting the charge. It just was not worth the hassle, which is EXACTLY what these little township flunkies count on when they nab you in their speed traps.
