This story is actually true, I have 2 friends who are troopers that confirmed this with me the other day!
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 be 50 state troopers on duty at all times patrolling the 9 main intersections and highways. They are the following:
I-295 north and sout
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 miles 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.
