Dateline: AJC
07/19/2010
Starting Aug 1, Georgia will launch a 30 day speeding ticket frenzy. The state estimates that 9 million dollars will be generated in speeding tickets. 1 million will go to pay state troopers' overtime. The rest to help with dwindling budgets. There will be 50 state troopers on duty at all times patrolling the 7 main intersections and highways. They are the following:
I-20 east and west
I-75 north and south
I-85 north and south
I-675
north and south
GA-985 north and south
GA-316 east and
west
GA-400 north and south
5 mph above the limit can justify a ticket and every state
trooper is supposed to pull a car over and write a ticket every
10 to 20 minutes. They have issued 30 brand new unmarked
Dodge Charger Police cruisers and are bringing in all of their
part timers on full time. If you work in the Atlanta area, you
will probably take one of these highways.
WSB and WXIA & CBS confirmed all of this.
Look for city and county governments to adopt similar
polices in the near future.
Who said taxes aren't being increased?
