just got this message from a friend at work who has family with CHP employee
All, I am not sure how true it is, but I thought I’d pass it on anyway. Word is.......................
California Highway Patrol will launch 30-day speeding ticket frenzy in California starting January 25, 2006. The state estimates that 22 million dollars will be generated in speeding tickets. 3 million will go to pay California Highway Patrol officer overtime. There will be 90 CaliforniaHighway Patrol officers on duty at all times patrolling the 7 freeways. They are the following: 73, 55, 133, 241, 57, 5, 605, 10, 60, 210 freeways.
Now, 7 mph above the limit can justify a ticket, and every California Highway Patrol officer is supposed to pull a car over and write a ticket every 10 minutes. They have issued 50 brand new unmarked Crown Victoria cruisers and they are bringing all their part-timers on full-time.
If you live or work in California and take one of these freeways, it's up to you how fast you are going when they do.
This is a test - by the CHP - to raise the extra funds for the state of California. The California State Legislators dreamed up this program to help close the budget gap. So be safe don't forget speeding tickets are on you.
You've been warned.
So slow your roll.........and pass this on to your family and friends!
I just did!
*not sure about the truth in it but it wouldn't surprise me as a way of reviving California's budget problems*
