I was forwarded this info. I know there are some of you in the Orange County area of SoCal, so this might help:

Received the following from a law enforcement source. Let the rice
rockets
be the rabbits.


For those of us who like to drive fast.....

California Highway Patrol will launch a 30-day speeding ticket frenzy
in
South Orange County starting January 25, 2006. The state estimates
that
22 million dollars will be generated in speeding tickets. 3 million
will
go to pay California Highway Patrol officer overtime. There will be 90
California Highway Patrol officers on duty at all times patrolling the
7
freeways. They are the following: 73, 55, 133, 241, 57, 5, 605
freeways.

Now 7 mph above the limit can justify a ticket and every California
Highway Patrol officers is supposed to pull a car over and write a
ticket
every 10 minutes.

They have issued 50 brand new unmarked Crown Victoria cruisers and
they
are bringing all their part timers on full time. If you live or work in
South Orange County you must take one of their freeways. It's up to
you
how fast you are going when they do. This is a test by the CHP to
raise
the extra funds for the State of California. The wealthy folks of
South
Orange County can afford this new tax. The California State
Legislators
dreamed up this law to help close the budget gap or something like
that.
I was told KICU-FM confirmed all of this. So be safe and don't forget
speeding tickets are on you.

You've been warned.

Gee that sucks. Glad I don't live out there because I am a tried and convicted speed offender. I simply don't feel comfortable unless I'm above the limit. I don't think any car I drive will really go that slow.

Thanks for the warning--I will have to slow down. I am one of the guilty South OCers that has frequently hit triple digits on the way home. Don't have to worry about it in the morning as traffic regulates us to about 10mph...

By the way, the part about us South OCers being wealthy is a load of $hit.

It couldn't hurt to slow down a bit. I guess the CHP wouldn't give up their donut/coffee stops for anything.
