Sooo many cops on the road ticketing people

Are they trying to make up the budget deficit? The last month or so I've seen tons more po-po, chp, sheriff, etc on the streets/highway/freeway/etc and pulled over cars getting tickets.

Anyone in law enforcement shed some light?

I can tell you that a lot more people are driving right now. It's summer and people drive a lot more, so it looks like more people are getting pulled over. I don't worry about the cops when I drive because I'm not doing anything wrong when I drive, I drive smart to save gas and ware on my car. I save the fast driving for the track lol.

Drive smart and safe and you should be fine.

APS 3", quiet and low key.

"Drive slow and you'll be fine" doesn't apply anymore.
