In Maryland it doesn't pay just to watch your speed. You'd better watch where it is you're speeding.

In Calvert County, where the state police do much of the traffic law enforcement, 79 percent of the speeding tickets issued in 2006 charged infractions of less than 10 mph. Only 11 percent were for violations of 20 mph or more. Charles and St. Mary's counties, also in Southern Maryland, showed a similar pattern.

I got a ticket last year in St Mary's Co by MSP for going 6 miles over the limit. Speed trap over Thanksgiving weekend. This year when MSP called for their yearly $250.00 donation I've given for the last 10 years I told them NO and to remove my name from their mailing list.

Look at the numbers for Baltimore, Montgomery, P.G. and Anne Arundel counties. :faint:

OTH, the police will sometimes write on the ticket that someone was going slower than they actually were. They still issue the ticket, but keep it below 10mph over the limit so that person isn't subject to larger fines. So, if they were caught doing 73 in a 55, the officer writes the ticket for 64, keeping the fines at the lower limit.

It's true...the revenue chasers are after us. We should drive faster. :lol:


(Under 9mph)
Calvert 79%
St. Mary's 73%
Charles 70%

What a shame. As someone who drives 130 miles per day, I see idiots flying past me at 90+ (I'm usually doing 70 on the beltway, 65 rurally). These are the ppl. the MSP should be targeting, not someone doing 6-9 over. Sad, sad, sad.....

Ha haha HA ha!

I don't speed, so this enforcement doesn't pertain to me and will affect me in NO way.

Have fun sitting on the side of the road getting your ticket, smoke Nazis! I'll flick a ciggie butt at you on my way past!

:yeahthat: It looks like your charge is more likely to be reduced in SOMD, while it may not be in other areas.

Which reminds me, I was going through PF about a week ago around 10:30 pm. A white pickup truck was speeding through town (I was going 45; the speed limit); woman in passenger side smoking, flicked her cig out the window and the flaming butt zinged past and bumbed my window; sparked pelting the side of my car. If it had been open the burning stink bomb would have gone inside my car.

So I wasn't speeding, they were, I was still the target of this pinhead's pathetic display of poor discipline, manners and observance of the law.

So ...... :neener:

Edit: BTW... she was blonde. You wouldn't happen to be blonde would you Vrai? :ohwell:
