we have some towns along the interstates in AL that are notorious for supporting their budgets with writing tickets. Lincoln was always bad. may have changed since they got the Honda plant, but i haven't been up that way in a while. at the time, it was actually against the law for them to police the interstate, but other law enforcement just seems to look the other way.

those enforcement laws may have changed since 9/11. there is a constant supply of city and county officers setting up shop on the interstate now. I've just assumed that they get federal overtime funds to support it since it appears to be a coordinated effort, but I'm really not sure what exactly is going on there. but you can never be too careful with al kaidee lurkin about, cans ya?

I rarely see Colorado Springs PD vehicles on I-25, and have never seen one pull anyone over on I-25. I have seen El Paso County Sheriff's vehicles doing it, but it's rare. Mostly it's Colorado State Highway Patrol vehicles along I-25 hereabouts.

Until a federal law is passed which requires 100% of the funds collected on federal highways to go into a central federal coffer used solely for the purpose of highway safety education/awareness training first, and road upkeep second, the ticket mills will continue.
