CLEAR LAKE – Area law enforcement agencies have scheduled a multi-jurisdictional traffic safety project for the evening of Thursday, September 7, 2017. Officers in Cerro Gordo County will be patrolling the central part of the county around Highway 18 and 122. They will be focusing on distracted driving, impaired drivers, and seat belt usage.
Motorists should always drive safely, without distractions, and designate a sober driver prior to visiting an event with alcohol. In addition, all occupants are reminded to buckle up. Seat belt usage improves chances of survival in the event of a crash.
Officers will out be enforcing all observed traffic violations in an effort to promote safety on Iowa’s roads.
The participating agencies are:
Cerro Gordo Sheriff’s Office
Clear Lake Police Department
Iowa Department of Transportation – Motor Vehicle Enforcement
Iowa State Patrol
Mason City Police Department
Portions of the project will be funded through a grant from the Iowa Governor’s Traffic Safety Bureau (GTSB).
Back in USSR! They did the same thing!
Political correct turds – these liberals cannot think for themselves that is why the are hired for public service – dummy downed walking dead waiting for a command /order/direction. – If no instructions were in the voting booth and they lost their democrap notepad they would think they were at Mc Donalds and wondering where were their fries.
Well, the “traffic safety project” is over. If all the scofflaws had any sense, they would have avoided the area. Continued…
Fund raising event.
Just saw on TV – Shithead elected officials in MPLS want to take down Christoper Columbus statue and replace it with PRINCE -THE DOPE HEAD statue – THANK GOD FOR TRUMP !
I’m would’nt be surprised that someday the fire department sets up a required house inspection so they can come into your home and snoooop. Call your senator and if they won’t help VOTE THEM OUT !
Generally I support law enforcement, but, this smells of illegal entrapment. It used to be illegal, then they just changed the name to a safety check. The end result is the same. It give them a opportunity to inspect your car without a warrant.
Unlawful, Unconstitutional traffic stops without probable cause. Welcome to the New World Order police state / surveillance state.
I recommend every vehicle stopped wthout cause, to video the entire stop
What a waste. A “special grant” which means our tax $ used to pay officers to actually do their jobs.
Just a thought ! If they pulled this stunt down in Florida right now with the forced evacuations – most of these people have their life savings in those vehicles – Over 5k — Sorry BUDDY we have to take it ! ITS the LAW !
Harassment at it’s finest with the guise that it’s for your good. You should not be surprised that these porky parties can also be a gold mine for them under the civil forfeiture law of keeping any cash over 5k for themselves – OH WELL – it was just a thought- but I am sure I will sleep better knowing these public surbants were ordered to protect me ! If only terry the pork saleman would just come back from his job created by Iowa Farms Inc.
Get em all.
just another way to give state employees with bloated wages, more of your tax dollars
4th amendment? We don’t see any stinking 4th amendment.
yes they do patrol for these, but are very often and frequently sent on calls which take them away from it, this is a concentrated effort and is all they will be doing, will not be called away to answer calls unless its a emergency.
State coffers need filling.
Aren’t they supposed to patrol for these things every night and day?
