Saw 3 people pulled this morning on my walk up and down Greensburg Pike, three that I physically saw. Two marked cars parked on either side of the pike pulled back ready to go–you can’t see them. One unmarked parked 50 feet back from the pike on a side street, radar gun on a tripod on the sidewalk with a cable all the way back to their car. I asked them how fast I was walking, they didn’t find it humorous :naughty:
I would suspect that they will change location during the day, so beware if you are driving thru Churchill and don’t speed!
These were Churchill cops–the two that were marked were marked Churchill cruisers, not staties. And I don’t know about the local laws but it was a radar gun on a tripod. I wish I had my cell on me to take a picture! LOL
I don’t know whose jurisdiction the “pike” is but I know it’s the county that plows it in the winter, not the local municipalities. :dunno:
I suppose the “radar warning portables” they use to get motorists to slow down is one thing, but them operating the radar devices covertly, then painting lines later down the road to time the ones observed speeding beforehand (Robix Accutrax *** usually written on ticket) is legal?
Me neither, people FLY up and down on that road. I do see them up at the cemetery quite a bit, in that half circle drive way. And Wilkins cops sit in that parking lot in front of the westing house ball park/ rec place. But today was very unusual. I never see them actually pulling anyone :bowrofl: I walk 5 miles so I pass all the cops just sitting in parking lots etc on greensburg pike. So to actually watch them pull over three vehicles on my 5 mile walk was quite strange!!!
Really? I just searched a bit on google and some state sites, it still says they are banned… either I am reading outdated information or ur wrong? Have a link to any documentation?
that also have the new thing where is a electronic vascar. set up a laser type thing at one point across the road then one 40 feet or how ever far across the road. kinda like the laser connected to a garage door to keep it from crushing something. and it electronically does vascar alot more acurately also. and city cops can use radar also. clairton does all the time. churchill i doubt is a city though right.
That is not correct, about a year and a half agao they tried to bring up legislation to change it but that was about it. My Chief was telling me about it just before he retired.
