Indiana State Police Crackdown

Got this e-mail the other day at work and from what I've seen with the recent Police activity I think it's true. So for those of use in Indiana, Look out!!!!

I just received this from a former student of mine from Ivy Tech whose
husband is a policeman. I thought it might save you a lot of money!
You're welcome! All gratuities accepted!!!

Yeah, they say that in Ontario too. Meanwhile the average speed on the 401 is still around 75MPH, it's a 60MPH highway. You can go right by the cops at 75 and they don't care. They normally don't start handing out tickets until about 80.

I don't know man, I did a few runs between Ontario-Iowa and Ontario-Wisconsin this summer and hardly saw any troopers at all. And when we did go flying by one a 90 they didn't do a thing

The only exception was when we were leaving Milwaukee the Wisconsin state troopers turned up the anal, must have saw a dozen of those bastards between Milwaukee and Illinois pulling everyone over. Never seen cop action like that before even in Ontario.

I've never had any problems with OH in all of my trips up and back from Columbus, Cleveland, Dayton, Toledo.... Indiana seems to already have it's wrap for being dicks and their fines and penalty's are pretty high as well from what I've heard.

ISP have definitely been out and about more in the last few weeks. I am on I-69 between Daleville and Marion daily (and I-69 between Indy and Ft. Wayne on Saturdays) for my jobs so I can attest to this fact.

ISP wont keep those standards very long. There will be WAY too many people to pull over for that stuff.

They would have to put like 500 cops on I-94 alone just to pull everone over for going 6mph over or following too closely. Everyone going toward Chicago breaks all of those rules constantly.

i live in dyer IN but go to school in IL....IL will pull you over for stupid shit but usually just give you a warning and are generally pretty nice.....if you get pulled over by an IN cop bend over and wait for it.....

IN cops are the devil. Ugh!

ISP has been worse lately because of the construction. And they like to pull people over soley for window tint!

How is passing a police officer breaking the law?

Pfff... Try to cite me over for that.

(I might just go to Indiana to do that...)

If you're not speeding, I don't think it's a crime. But if you are speeding...they'll stop you and think of you as incredibly stupid!
