I drove to Southern California Sunday and came back home Tuesday. I talked with an old neighbor in S. California who told me he heard from his CHP buddy that they are increasing patrols on the I-15 from Victorville to stateline. FOR THE REST OF THE YEAR. He said he was tagged by one of the speed traps and received a ticket on that drive recently.
Supposedly, they are running airplanes and/or an undercover car that radios ahead to waiting CHP chasers. This is supposed to go on for the rest of the year. They have pulled several officers from several different areas to participate.
This guy tends to exaggerate a bit. However, on my way back Tuesday I did see a LOT more CHP than I normally do on that drive. Especially for a Tuesday. I saw 6 or 7 cruisers. Most I have ever seen before was 2. I did NOT see any airplane patrols. I also tried to really pay attention to the cars I passed to see if they looked like an undercover officer. No ticket, so must not have passed one!
