Be careful michigan drivers!!!

Starting March 1, 2009, Michigan will launch a 31 day speeding ticket
frenzy. The state estimates that $9 million dollars will be generated in
speeding tickets, with an additional $3.5 million in revenue for failure
to wear a seatbelt.. $1 million will go to pay state troopers overtime.
There will be 47 state troopers on duty at all times patrolling the main
intersections and highways with the highest rates of speeding.
They are the following:
I-75, especially from the Ohio line north to Woodhaven, and again from
Auburn Hills to Flint
I-96 east and west in its entirety
I-275 north and south
I-675 north and south

I-94 east and west from Battle Creek to Jackson
I-696 east and west in its entirety
I-196 east and west
US-131 north and south
I-69 east and west from Lansing to Flint and again from Flint eastward to
Port Huron.
I-69 north and south from I-94 to Lansing
M-14 east and west from I-94 to I-275
M-39 from I-94 to I-96
M-59, especially from Pontiac to Utica, and from Utica east
US-10 from Midland to Bay City
US-23 from I-96 to Flint

US-27 from Lansing to Mt.. Pleasant
Quotas:
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

canceled all vacation time. In addition, they are bringing in all of their
part timers on full time for the month. This nonsense will conclude on
April 1.
Driving Ticket fine increase in MI:
Starting on January 15th, the price of a ticket for violation of MI Law
39:3-29 (failure to show your driver's license, registration, or proof of
insurance card at the time you are stopped) went from $44.00 to $173.00.
Please make sure your vehicles have the proper documents in them. If you
jump in the car to run to the store and forget your wallet with your
license in it and you are stopped.... Oh well... you just spent $173. And
the fine for not having all three documents is $519!!!

lol ya i got that email chain. Why did you leave out the first paragraph.

Operation Yellow Jacket Look out for MI-DOT trucks parked along the road or suddenlyappearing behind you pacing you - it could be a Trooper driving thetruck. Called 'Operation Yellow Jacket', each Michigan State PoliceDistrict has a truck cleaned up and ready to go! These trucks havespecially modified engines that can virtually catapult the truck fromsnow-plow speed to intercept speed in seconds. And when the engineboost kicks in, the warning lights automatically change from flashingyellow to the dreaded red and blue!

Not to sure about this lol. My friends have said that they noticed more LEO around, i dunno.

I don't know if this is true or not but I will be able to tell tomorrow, I got a 120 mile trip coming. I would like to see a newspaper article on this subject.

This sounds like a typical templated chainmail scam that goes around every few months in a different area. With that said, there is somewhat of a grain of truth -- some of the segments listed are pretty nasty IO K, Ka and laser hotspots and a couple of the departments on the way (Troy, Auburn Hills for sure) WILL justify a 5-over ticket.

Ya its laser season now since the LEO can open their windows lol. Anyone have an up to date list of cities using laser. Earlier this week i saw a LEO using laser on a regular street (crooks). First time I've seen it used off the highway (which I'm never on). I need a laser jammer .

[languy99]

laser is almost everywhere in Michigan, I know it is in Lansing, GR and all over Detroit. Also the MSP loves to use it. So basically you are always at risk with laser in Michigan during the warm months.

Hmm, I got this in my inbox yesterday from a buddy. It is a chainmail scam, here is proof
