If you ever see a blue trailblazer on the seneca street overpass on the 400 he is radaring, he also will park and sit down behind the bridge with a radar gun. They do it alot, never speed until after the overpass and the turn around on the 400 from the 90. I travel it everyday.

A Cheektowaga cop told me that they don’t have quotas and it doesn’t matter how many tickets they give out, but that it does for state troopers and they have the quotas.

Its a buffalo thing. We replace the word interstate with “The.”
Highway 1 would be Highway 1 however. Never heard anyone butcher that. You might say take Main Street to Buffalo but you don’t take Scajaquada to Buffalo or Youngman to buffalo. You say the Scajauda or the Youngman, instead of take Route 33 you say take the 33.

Yes. Each department has a budget. They have their income from state funding and then anything they pay for. No cop has to write say 300 tickets but each department has a amount on their budget that is income from tickets they estimate so they know as the month goes on that they are short and need to write more. Also they are pressured if the average cop is writing 350 tickets a month and you are only writing 150 it looks bad.
