I just received this from a friend of mine locally, who received it from someone locally, yada, yada, yada. Have any of you received it? And, "30 new unmarked cruisers."? Any thoughts?
My thoughts are...30 new cruisers + 50 officers 24/7...how're they gonna pay for that unless each officer does, in fact, write one ticket every 10 minutes? It seems to me this is already happening on the H-1 between the airport and Pearl City. That stretch is always a speed trap. Anyway...what do you think of the following? Truth or hoax?
"On February 1, the city and county of Honolulu will launch a 30-day speeding ticket frenzy. The city estimates that 9 million dollars will be generated in speeding tickets. 1 million will go to pay police overtime. There will be 50 police on duty at all times patrolling the 9 main thoroughfares.
They are the following:
H-3 both directions
H-2 both directions
H-1 both directions
Pali Hwy
Likelike Hwy
Nimitz Hwy
Kalanianaole Hwy
Kam Hwy
Farrington Hwy
Now 5 mph above the limit can justify a ticket and every officer is supposed to pull a car over and write a ticket every 10 minutes. They have issued 30 brand new unmarked cruisers and they are bringing all their part timers on full time."
