    I wouldn't say any more cops but there have been
    A ton of speed traps around my area. A few days ago I saw 6 people pulled over just going down memorial drive
    Between 78 and 285.

    all of your local minicipalities(counties, cities) are hurting for money and easy way to get it is to give more speeding tickets....happening over here on the west side too. let's just say i've got some friends from the old bouncing/fighting days and thats the word form them

    They have to generate revenue somehow!...

    Seriously, since this economic crap has started I have noticed an increase in cops clocking speeders. I used to rarely see speed traps and cops sitting on the side of the road clocking, now they are all over 20 clocking, they always have their token speed trap on sugarloaf set up, and ronald reagan as well.

    The government lives off the people that get arrested for stupid shit like going one or more over or under the speed limit, outstanding warrants and so on... I went with one guy to court because he was going 3 miles an hour more then the speed limit was and he had to pay $25.... so imagine how much the people that go 30 or more over the speed limit..

    I have an extremely hard time believing he was ticketed for going 3mph over. Seriously. The $25 doesnt even cover the cost for that judge to ask if he wished to plead guilty, not guilty, or NoLo and if he had anything else to say.

    That is impeding traffic. Ever heard the phrase "Slower traffic keep RIGHT"?

    He deserved that ticket. That shit grinds my gears.

    LOL well no shit, faster traffic keep to the left and most of the time the left lane goes well above the speed limit anyways. The ticket was a good cause, because that is not safe what he was doing.

    I've noticed the increase too. It's probably a number of things thats already listed. Just go a lil under the speed limit and u shouldn't have anything 2 worry about.

    He didn't get a ticket for going too slow he got a ticket for impeding traffic! He deserved that ticket! I hate it when ppl do that shit! Slower traffic keep to the right!! The only way u can get a ticket for going too slow is if ur going 45 or under on an interstate. The word "speed LIMIT'' means u cannot go faster than whats posted not that u have to go that speed.

    Yeah, I know Gwinnett is getting real deep on coverage. My office is on Jimmy Carter and I see them all day long. of coarse one of their stations is at the corner of Jimmy Carter and I-85. On top of that, they have a lot of undercover cars. I know they have an older Ford Ranger and a Grand Am. These are not unmarked cars, these are completely undercover only having dark tint on them.

    I honestly haven't noticed more cops out, but it's probably just the area I live in.

    it's odd. I havent see this much at all. Ever since I moved here, I didnt notice much. Now it looks like there looking for America's Most Wanted. Heck I was being tailed by 1 cop everyday.
