looks like i’ll be driving the hatch for a while…not gonna take any chances if they’re pulling people over for 3mph over… that’s just ridiculous, you could be driving, sneeze, and the jerking motion of the sneeze may cause you to tap the gas a bit, and that’s all it would take to go that 3mph over… ---

They are not pulling people over for 3mph over. I have been out driving yesterday and today and went past cops 5mph (60 in 55, and 70 in 65) with no other cars around and the cops didnt move. ---

[quote=“95dime,post:49,topic:29708"”] 1 of them wasent by an unmarked car. [/quote] I was told By a CPD Cop that on the NYS thruway, No unmarked cars can pull anyone over. Sure it wasn’t a regular trooper car without the lights on top? ---

So is the thruway still being heavily patrolled? I have a bad feeling about going to the s&r cruise. ---

NYS law prohibits the use of unmarked state police cars for routine traffic stops. If someone gets a ticket from that I’m guessing you can get it thrown out. Do a search, I know I’ve posted the specific law that Pataki signed before. It does not apply to anyone other than State Police though. ---

They were back out there again today. Around 12-2 on 290W bound inbetween Main Street W & the Sheridan/Harlem exit. About 8 stateys and 2 Amherst cars. [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/290-speedtraps-today/29708.md?page=2)
