PSA: ISP Mustangs out in force now.

[Boilers]

On the way home, while doing my normal 'driving the speed limit or under', I noticed about SEVEN ISP MUSTANGS on I-465 with pulled over cars.

You have been warned.

I think I saw an ISP Tahoe with 20" rims on it. Has anyone else seen it??

its the "ghetto-mobile" so it won't "stand out" ROTFL

On the Toll Road in NWI they have several black Dodge Chargers. I have seen those several times over the last 2 years.

They have lots of unmarked chargers now...a few marked ones as well. They are indeed using a pimped out Tahoe with 20's on it. Funny seeing that lit up with a uniformed Trooper driving it.

They always try to reap the benefits of the Speedway being open. Give out as many tickets as possible. That line about for our safety is BS. It's to generate $$$$. If it were for our safety why not give warnings or have tickets cost $10?

Where do the use the pimped Tahoe? That must be hilarious when the trooper gets out with his hat on

Is the Trooper a Homey?

I dono, but one of my fellow officers saw it pulling someone over. Probably a drug seizure based on the appearance.

My wife's cousin saw it on 65 around Gary when he was on his way to Chicago.

If Troopers only gave warnings or tickets cost $10 would it make you think twice about speeding?

It would still be points against your license, would it not?

 

[IndyMonkey]

Remember that those mustangs drivers have a 300 tickets a month min. to keep those rides.

 

[IndyMonkey]

If tickets were 10.00 who would pay for our court system to operate?

My point was they say it's not for the revenue brought in but for our safety. If it's for our safety why are tickets well over $100 now. People will still speed. If I'm not mistaken traffic deaths have been down even though the speed limits were raised. I know a lot of it is b/c cars are safer now. A lot of you didn't have to suffer the agony of 55MPH speeds. Ugghhh.... Driving fast and driving wreckless are two different things. I try to drive for the road conditions, traffic, weather and time of day. Sometimes it faster, sometimes slower. Just IMHO.

Are they stopping Politicians, Bankers & Corp CEO's, I hear they have alot of money. My favorite is the extortion written all over the ticket and everything is $183.00, so much for the 8A.

Wow... rough problem..... seems one solution might be to drive the speed limit, and not worry about speeding tickets, quotas, pimp-mobiles, and like that.... might also eliminate the issue of whether to disclose if you have a gun in the vehicle or not.... oh, already figured that out? Works for me ...

Perhaps I'm just oversimplifying things... maybe 'cause I'm old....... sigh

These were ALL on the EAST SIDE of I-465.

The reason I post this is because I have never seen these Mustangs. They look nice, Shelbys? and this is the highest number of people pulled over at one time that I have ever seen.

Ha ha - can't get me for speeding!

No one thinks twice. Everyone speeds. Spend a day with me and you'll see a dozen people try to occupy my backseat they tailgate so closely. Again, I might actually pass some cars that are driving on flat tires, or driver is 95+, but in general everybody speeds past me 100% of the time.

They have had those a while now. I see em on 37 all the time. I think each Post got one to start. Sometimes they form up in Wolf Packs and set up speed traps. I've seen unmarked Crown Vics clocking ppl and then the Mustangs run em down.
The troopers are always out in force all over when the big track events are going on.
There are a lot of times when going the speed limit is more dangerous than speeding. With modern cars and good road conditions some of the speed limits are unrealistic.
