DES MOINES – This Memorial Day holiday weekend, the Iowa Department of Public Safety’s (DPS) Iowa State Patrol (ISP) will have increased patrol efforts on Iowa roadways with the main focus on speed and distracted driving. The Crash Awareness and Reduction Effort is a national effort to increase officer presence on Interstate and U.S. Highways across the nation during specific high crash periods.
Last year during the three-day Memorial Day holiday weekend, two people were killed on Iowa roadways. As of today, 106 fatalities have occurred on Iowa roads, with nearly 30% of those being unbuckled.
Motorists are encouraged, as always, to obey the posted speed limits and buckle up. Troopers will also be on the lookout for distracted driving and impaired drivers. Together, we can keep Iowa’s roadways safe and save lives.
So how many losers did they catch?
or as one officer said when asked “do you have a quota?” and he replied “no, we can write as many as we want to” Id say crackerjack has seen his fair share of tickets is why he is such a dumass
hey crackerjack they are out there trying to save your ass while you are enjoying the holiday weekend, they are behind a wheel while their family is at home. I spent 30 years as a “copper”, I missed many Christmas’s, kids birthday parties, other holidays, kids activities at school and church, all to try and save your ass and this is the thaks you get. Its not a money thing, we didn’t get any raise cause we wrote more tickets then anyone else. as one of the officers told a person once when he asked the officer “are you going to give me a ticket??” and officer replied “no, we don’t just give them away, you have to earn them” enough said
You didn’t spend much time in English class, eh??
I’m all about being safe and keeping those safe around me. But I can’t help myself thinking about some of these practices that are in effect to drum up revenue. Now on any given day a trooper does his job to a tee but these local constables lean towards profit for cause. And in the eyes of the public your all coppers. And when you bill me for BS I will make it happen. Do your job. Revenue is not part of it.
and what you going do about it…get a lawyer. lol
Would you rather pay a funeral home, or a nursing home the rest of your life.
Funeral home !!
A funeral home, funeral parlor or mortuary, is a business that provides interment and funeral services for the dead and their families. These services may include a prepared wake and funeral, and the provision of a chapel for the funeral. Not as smart as you think you are, eh!!
Let me put it in simpler terms so you get it. I’d rather be dead !!!
Follow the law and you won’t have a problem. Only liberals who think the rules are for someone else has problems.
