I got this email, thought I should share it with everyone. Subject: Warning to Pennsylvania residents about speeding! For those of us who like to drive fast… Pennsylvania State Police will launch a 30-day speeding ticket frenzy throughout the state starting February 1, 2006. The State estimates that 22 million dollars will be generated in speeding tickets. 3 million will go to pay Trooper overtime costs and benefits. There will be 150 State Troopers on duty during all shifts patrolling the highways. Significant radar enforcement will occur along the I-70, I-76, I-79, I-80, I-81, I-83, I-84, and I-90 corridors. Motorists traveling 6 mph or more above the limit will receive a ticket and every State Trooper is supposed to pull a car over and write a ticket every 10 minutes. Pennsylvania has activated 50 new unmarked cruisers of various makes and models for this pilot program to raise extra funds and meet mandated quotas. The Pennsylvania State Legislators dreamed up this program to help offset the additional funding required to hire 60 new Troopers. I was told KDKA TV and Radio stations confirmed this. So be safe and don’t forget speeding tickets are on you. ---

this is from 2005 and false: Speeding Ticket Frenzy Claim: State police are about to launch a 30-day speeding ticket frenzy in: New Jersey Tri-Cities area, Tennessee Dallas (or all of Texas) Orange County, California Detroit (or all of Michigan) Honolulu, Hawaii Pennsylvania Status: False. Example: [Collected on the Internet, 2005] New Jersey will launch a 30-day speeding ticket frenzy. The state estimates that 9 million dollars will be generated in speeding tickets. 1 million will go to pay state troopers overtime. There will be 50 state troopers on duty at all times patrolling the 9 main intersections and highways. They are the following: I-295 north and south 1-95 (Jersey Turnpike) north and south 1-80 east and west I-287 north and south I-78 east and west I-195 east and west 1-280 east and west Rt. 130 north and south Garden State Parkway north and south Now 5 mph above the limit can justify a ticket and every state trooper is supposed to pull a car over and write a ticket every 10 minutes. They have issued 30 brand new unmarked Crown Victoria cruisers and they are bringing all their part timers on full time. If you work in New Jersey, New York, or CT, you must take one of there interstates, routes, or parkways. It’s up to you how fast you are doing when they do. I was told 101.5 FM confirmed all of this. So be safe and don’t forget speeding tickets are on you. You’ve been warned. Origins: We first encountered this warning in mid-May 2005 when it came to us as an e-mail purporting to detail information gleaned from “a State trooper in south Jersey.” At that time the crackdown was said to be scheduled to begin on Monday, May 2, 2005. Towards the end of June 2005, the e-mailed warning reappeared. (It had gone dormant for a few weeks — it had been at least that long since we’d seen it in the [snopes.com](http://snopes.com) inbox.) This second version was identical to the first except for one small yet important detail: the “as of Monday, May 2” was elided from the beginning of the advisory, rendering the updated version’s opening line as “New Jersey will launch a 30-day speeding ticket frenzy” and providing readers with no inkling of when the enhanced traffic enforcement would supposedly take place. (As noted below, subsequent versions of the e-mail have altered the locations of the alleged crackdown to areas in Tennessee, California, and Texas.) No news outlets reported a 30-day round-up of speeders in New Jersey in May 2005. Even if there had really been such a month-long rousting of Garden State leadfoots, given that May 2 kick-off date, it would already have come and gone by the time motorists started receiving the message quoted above. (Of course, that doesn’t mean anyone should now assume the listed routes to be completely trooper-free.) ---
