    Default Ohio Highway Patrol busy today; holiday weekend

    Its a Holiday weekend and you sure can tell. Im in Ohio on I-71 and I have been hit with x-band instant 3 times and 2 laser shots from center of median. I am glad I had the CB on cause with no laser jammer I would have been toast. STI putting in overtime this weekend forsure. :shock:

    They probably have aircraft up also! A scanner or CB would definitely be helpful.

    The Turnpike from I-77 to I-280 was absolutely infested yesterday....A ton of K band, and of course, Lidar.

    Yeah, returning from the outlet mall going back to the capital I saw three. I got lasered once. I went to three truck stops, Best Buy and CC and did not see any sales on RD besides a crapra or two.

    Had to go back to mall, and I saw a k-band statie go across grass median for client. Then saw laser with the cop coming out and pointing to customer. I swear I saw the kbanders wearing county mounty outfits. Maybe they join the staties in their cars.

    I came down 71 from just north of Columbus this morning, in 43 miles I was shot 2 times with x band, and 3 times with laser. From mile marker 116 in Ohio to the kentucky line I counted 12 staties. I crossed the line and in KY on 71 there is a 55 mph zone just south of cincinatti and there were 5 Kentucky staties on the northbound side all with customers writing them up.

    No thats overkill if you ask me.
