Thanks for the update.

Someone sent it to me. Is it BS? Anyone know any troopers that could confirm?

 

Not sure if false or not but I travel on 78 and the Turnpike every day and can definately say that they have been out in greater #'s and see far more cars pulled over in the last 3 weeks. I was pulled over by a Trooper that had someone stopped already. He finished with them and then stopped me further down for tints, nice guy by the way and let me off (had a couple PBA/FOP cards). After he left me he had another car pulled over just a mile down the road!

Not saying they are doing anything wrong, hey, if you are speeding or have any violations they are going to pull you over. If your clean then they don't, simple as that. I'm sure they would rather not hassle with the paperwork for BS violations but they have to do what they are told.

Just my .02 cents

 

I just drove from Ohio to NY thru NJ, I could not believe the number of LEO's I saw on I287, one every 5 miles!

 

This is BS!!! i got hit by laser on the Turnpike (95) in front of Newark Airport. 86 in a 55. all my cards worked. i got a warning. group by for laser jammers.
