Interstate 95 near US Highway 17
Passing through town of Ridgeland on I-95 at about noon, I saw no less than three cops with people pulled over,and two more waiting to catch people. Some of the cars looked like state and county law, but most of them were city cops. There is no reason for city cops to be on an interstate, Ridgeland Police need to stay in their own town and make sure their palm trees don’t fall over. The speed limit on I-95 really should be 75 anyway cause it’s so flat and straight with little traffic.
Interstate 95 near Exit Number 22
Men stand on overpass(northbound side)using radar gun and radio to several police cars about a quarter of a mile ahead. Saw about six out-of-state northern cars pulled over at same time. A real "bear trap" operation designed to target only drivers that they know won’t travel back 700 miles to fight the ticket.
