    Exclamation WI - Department gets a grant

    A local sheriff's office now has $35,000 in state grants to help them enforce speeding and drunk driving.
    The money goes toward Eau Claire County Deputies' overtime, and to buy new equipment. The Sheriff's Department says it plans to buy 2 in-car digital video camera systems with some of the money.
    The Department of Transportation says in 2007, about 250 people died in speed-related crashes in Wisconsin. The DOT says nearly 340 died that same year in crashes that were alcohol related.

    They pull this nonsense where I live in CA. Every Tuesday all the motor cops get overtime for some maximum enforcement thing. You'd think a bank robbery was going on when you see them all over the place in a few block area. Only 2-3 over and you are nailed. Plus, they like to have stooges step off the sidewalk and write you up on the pedestrian thing too.

    Supposedly, CA is bankrupt to the tune of $28 billion, but they still get overtime from these state "Grants for public safety."

    The local police union has been running radio adds and even has a website to push for more money. Like they don't get too much with their overtime already - which also would go up a lot if they get away with it.
