Default lots of cops out on 301

there was about 4 cops that had people pulled over when i was driving down 301 in brandon tonight. be careful driving through there, especially where 75 goes over 301. i couldnt see where they were tagging people from, but i saw 4 people pulled over within a 1/2 mile. so its gotta be trapped.

seems like there is a big crackdown on speeding for the past few days. i have seen all kinds of fhp and local police/sheriffs in speed traps on a lot of major roads here in ft. myers. way more than usual...

i heard they hired like 30 more cops for traffic Enforcement. All this means is our tax dollars are going to guys to sit on the side of the road and eat there dougnuts for 7 hours and work 1 hour. Such a waste of time. I dunno why they even bother enforcing some of the traffic laws. The dumbasses usually weed themselves out after a while anyway.
