A friendly heads up:
Look out for Penn dot trucks parked along the road or appearing
behind you pacing you, it could be a Trooper driving the truck, it is
called “Operation Yellow Jacket” and will be off and on all summer, each
district has a truck cleaned up and ready to go!
Starting today, Pennsylvania 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:
```
Rte. 1 north and south
PA-220
I-99 north and south
I-95 north and south
I-279 north and south
I-276 east and west
I-376 east and west
I-76 east and west
I-80 east and west
I-79 north and south
I-70 east and west
PA-60
PA-66
US-22 & 322
```
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 to 20
minutes. They have issued 30 brand new unmarked Dodge Charger Police
cruisers and are bringing in all of their part timers on full time. If
you work in western Pennsylvania, you will probably take one of these
highways. It’s up to you how fast you are going when they clock you.
KDKA and WDVE & CBS3 confirmed all of this. So be safe and don’t
forget speeding tickets are on you.
Driving Ticket fine increase in PA:
Starting on August 15th, the price of a ticket for violation of
PA Law 39:3-29 (failure to show your driver’s license, registration, or
insurance card at the time you are stopped) is going from $44.00 to
$173.00.
```
Please make sure your vehicles have the proper documents in
```
them. If you jump in the car to run to the store and forget your wallet
with your license in it and you are stopped… Oh well… you just
spent $173. And the fine for not having all three documents is $519!!!

regardless, I had meant to post on here about an unmarked Charger that I saw last week. This was along Route 8, where the old diner was across from the Sheetz by the Turnpike.
I would have never thought it to be an unmarked car if I pulled up to it, or if it pulled up behind me. It’s a gunmetal gray car with Silver stripe down the side, not to out of the ordinary but what suprised me was the “Shaker” hood! If it didn’t have the lights on and a uniform talking to the dump truck it pulled over, I would have never known it to be a cop!
