So did anyone else hear about the NJ bill

[ded71]

No points because they can't prove who was driving, or so I've heard.

Correct.

[JL8Jeff]

So if they can't prove who's driving why would anyone ever pay the fine? Something's not right about that scenario. I hear the speeding part is 8-9 mph above the posted speed limit.

I did dude, its gonna be crazy. Heres the run down I got..

NJ is starting up a 30 day speeding ticket rally. From what I hear,
every trooper assigned to this has to hand out 1 ticket every 10 to 20
minutes. They will be focusing in around this area so watch out.
Here's what a New Jersey State trooper sent:

Starting today, New Jersey will launch a 30 day speeding ticket
frenzy. The state estimates that 9 million dollars will be generated in
speeding tickets. 1 million will go to pay state troopers' overtime.
There will 50 state troopers on duty at all times patrolling the 9 main
intersections and highways. They are the following:

I-295 north and south
1-95 (Jersey Turnpike) north and south
1-80 east and west
I-287 north and south
I-78 east and west
1-195 east and west
1-280 east and west
Rt. 130 north and south
Garden State Parkway north and south

I'm warning everyone now that 5 mph above the limit can justify a
ticket and every state trooper is supposed to pull a car over and write
a ticket every 10 to 20 minutes. They have issued 30 brand new unmarked
Crown Victoria cruisers and are bringing in all of their part timers on
full time. If you work in NJ, NY, DE or CT you will probably take one of
these highways. It's up to you how fast you are going when they clock
you.

101.5 FM confirmed all of this. So be safe and don't forget speeding
tickets are on you. You've been warned."

Then the same friend, emailed me the following:


Driving Ticket fine increase in NJ:

Starting on August 15th, the price of a ticket for violation of NJ
Law39:3-29 (failure to show your driver's license, registration, or
insurance card at the time you are stopped) is going from $44.00 to
$173.00. Please make sure your vehicles have the proper documents in
them. If you jump in the car to run to the store and forget your wallet
with your license in it and you are stopped.... Oh well... you just
spent $173. And the fine for not having all three documents is $519!!!

Forward to people in NJ, and let them know of this change. And be
careful, the fine for hand held cell phone use while driving will be
going up to $180.00.

failure to exhibit has been 173 for over 2 years already.

yeah joe thats the email i got...

heres my question to you guys:

my camaro is in my fathers name but the saturn is in my name, my sisters lexus is on the business' name and all other cars are under my mothers name. yesterday i drove the camaro, my sister drove my saturn, and my father drove the slaab, and my mother drove the lexus. how can cameras account for that? thats not just a random occurance. my family is always playing musical cars.

you can read that as, only put cameras where they can pay for themselves. lol

the moral of the story, don't drive like an *******!

What he said. Philly has a few cameras along Rt 1 at some really nasty intersections.

But I agree with what others said, Big Brother is watching and I don't like it.

Blah blah blah blah, do you know how many times that chain email has gone out? I got one for PA that's typed out EXACTLY the same aside from changing the road names.

www.snopes.com is your friend.

[coldkilla]

yeah man that email has been going around for a long long time. seriously think about that. each trooper has to give out a ticket every 10 to 20 minutes? impossible not to mention a gross negligence of resources. and to openly say that they are giving tickets to pay for police overtime?! you dont even have to be a lawyer to see how that would backfire in their faces besides the fact that they say they are using the money to pay for overtime and at the same time pulling in all their part timers for full time. yeah that makes sense. if you get these emails and believe them youre a tool.

They can't account for who is driving the car, that's why they don't issue any points. The ticket is mailed to that person that the car is registered to.

My dad got one on 495 near DC about 2 years ago. The ticket was for 10 over, it was only about $50-$60 and no points. They had a picture of the entire van that he was driving, and a close up of the license plate.

if this is true (im guessing its not now) the gov./state police are dicks...

speaking of cameras and violations, my quick story deals with EZpass, well one day a few years back i got a letter in the mail saying i didnt pay the toll at an ezpass and included on the letter was a picture of my car going through. i figured it may have been a machine error or i didnt hold the pass up high enough, or that since i was using my parnets pass, it picked me out. later i found out you can use ez pass on different cars without notifying them, but anyway, the day after i got that letter, i got 5 more, lol all with pictures of me blowing EZ pass tolls. Now i stopped to think where i was going on the parkway and i realized i was at work on that day at those time. I was very confused. In the one picture i could barely make the drivers face out. It was my friend, i had let him borrow the car to go to his moms second wedding and he didnt know her ez pass thing wasnt working. so they sent the violations to me because of the plate. That day i found my friend, gave him the papers, and he took care of it, well his mom did or whatever but it got cleared up. This is one case where i liked the fact that there cameras, because up until i saw his face, i was dumbfounded as to how my SS was in south jersey while i knew i was working, lol.

nah ive known this ever since i got my bird, and especially when i was driving from school to home or vice versa (exit 44 to 153 on the GSP) theyd always pick me outta a crowd of cars

[11 Bravo]

NC has a red light camara law. You don't get any points but if you don't pay it then it goes on your credit rating.
