Thanks ISP!!! plus 5

Thanks guys!

Over the last week, I have noticed you doing your speeder thing on 37 north of Bloomington. No problems on my end.

Hats off for picking on the out of state drivers every time I have past you with some one pulled over earning a ticket! I also noticed the more expensive cars are being selected. Is it random, or just hoping they pay up?

FYI,

I was in a group of three cars, driving north on 37 and we were all going the same speed. Said trooper picked the Porsche with out of state plates from the group to "talk' with!

Keep up the good work on out of state plates!

Is there sarcasm meant with this post?

Are you really happy that visitors to Indiana leave with a ticket?

I don't know how others do it, but when I choose to stop a vehicle, I have usually picked it out well before I could even see what plates are on it

Especially with cars whizzing by at 60 - 70mph. Those Troopers have some good eyes!

Those aren't radar guns! They're watching a live video feed from the ISP spy satellites, don't-cha-know.

I am, especially if they Illinois tags.

Heck the normal working man is trying to save gas by not speeding. So only the rich are getting the tickets.

I can get better mileage cruising on the interstate at 85 than I do driving in the city!

I don't think this trooper is using a radar. He is driving a Mustang and just picks his target from close range............

The stretch of 37 between Bloomington and Martinsville has always been patrolled heavily. Well, that is, as far as I have seen in the 6+ years I have lived here.

I couldn't give a crap less about where someone is from, it's just good to hear that they are pulling over the pretentious ass's that think that because they drive a B'mer or Mercedes they can drive how ever the Hell they want to.

I drive 30 miles of one of the worst roads I have ever seen every day and at least twice every morning and afternoon I say to myself "where in the hell are the cops".

Wow, a little wealth envy there? I hate to be blunt, but most bad drivers have dinged and destroyed cars, and they are not what you'd call a luxury sedan most of the time.

I am still shocked at the amount of generalization and animosity towards those that choose to purchase high quality vehicles. Do you buy cheap, low power weapons so you're in with the common man? I have a $460 gun as my most expensive. If you have a more expensive one, shame on you and your pretentiousness.

My thoughts exactly. In my experience, people with high end cars drive them delicately for the most part. I frequently say "you're in a corvette, why am I passing you"?

Memorial day weekend I passed a Ferrari and lamborghini on 65 north while in my minivan

That's the way I drive, regardless of the car!

and I am surprised at your generalization of some people buying beaters because they realize a car is just a money pit no matter what logo is plastered on the front and rear vanity regions. I have seen just as many asshats driving a 100k car as I have seen driving a 500 dollar car. Asshattery has no preference to bank accounts.

Going by your user name, I am going to go ahead and guess that you are a high end car driver. If you are a good driver then you have nothing to get all buthurt about then. It's not wealth envy, I didn't say that bad driving was exclusive to ONLY people in more expensive cars. So why don't come down off your high horse there, to where most of us "commoners" are and see what it is we see.

I am still shocked at the amount of generalization and animosity towards those that choose to purchase quality vehicles at a resonable price, while working hard and providing for their families.

what road??????

Hwy 45

Thank you.

It may not be that that they are targeting more expensive cars, but more let's say unique ones. My Dad told me about a ticket he received, he was in the middle of a large pack all doing the same speed. He was pulled over, and he asked the officer why he was picked specifically, he wasn't being rude or obnoxious, just curious.

The officer told him, there are 8 red cars, 5 blue ones, 2 white and 3 yellow ones. And one big white conversion van. Which one do you think I'm going to be able to follow and pick out of the crowd and be able to state with a certainty that's the one I got on radar?

Moral of the story, drive a non-descriptive vehicle.

Ummm some of the worst drivers I have ever run across had very nice pricey vehicles. One that sticks out in my mind was a Ford GT 550 exotic mid engine thing. He thought it was cool to drive 135 in a 70 zone. He went to jail and got his nice ride hooked. He was also a major a--. Some of them are also the most snide people that think the rules and laws don't apply to them.

This I believe.
