They are finally getting to what most of us have known for a long time. They can ride with me tomorrow!

DOT cops in NM would pull over speeding cars in construction zones. They were notorious for using LIDAR.

Thank God, finally something that makes sense....Just yesterday I was p***ed about the injustices for traffic law enforcement and was gonna start a thread about it....May that start making all their money ticketing cars and well help them by calling them out on the CB...Im happy to see it wont be just us following laws and the minivan fully of schoolkids with mom running late and on phone while eating will get a ticket for cutting me off while overtaking on the shoulder without a turnsignal , nonworking lights, speeding in a workzone with bald tires in the rain......

Nothing stopping you from starting that thread. Although, there have already been quite a number of them.

Hope it doesn't take DOT that long to get around to the rest of it. If it does, we'll all be dead, buried, and forgotten by the time it happens.
