a little fyi for whomever this is pertinent to: state and local police are going to be monitoring route 22 through 3 counties (westmoreland, allegheny, and indiana) for the next week or so.

They are forming some kinda task force dubbed "tag team 22". although the name suggests some potentially gay hood rat type porno, they're actually going to be utilizing aircraft as well as interceptors to nab as many aggressive drivers as possible.

just letting you guys/girls know.... no highway pulls or excessive speeding for a little while.

carry on

i love it when they use vague and subjective terms like "Aggressive Driving".

what they need to do is have their funding cut substantially and redirected to real police officers like the city of pittsburgh who actually have crime to stop and get and shot at as opposed to Buefurt T. Law out in the country who is nothing more than a glorified traffic cop.

police budgets are always something that get me quite angry. i'm usually against the whole socialist spreading of money, but in the case of law enforcement i think i can make an exception.

you end up with cases like the baldwin/whitehall area where i live versus the city. the city has old equipment, a large need for maintenance, and officers who are underpaid for the type of duties they perform.

then you have places like baldwin who have dozens of officers to troop all over 5 square miles of borough. they even received a large amount of money a few years back from a state grant for a boat. you know how much of the river is technically under their jurisdiction? less than a mile in length, and i don't even believe the whole way to the other bank.

i think that money could be much better spent buying rifle plates for the bullet proof vest of a city officer so we don't have a repeat of that fiasco just a week or so ago.

Im with you man, there are several places in allegheny county that seriously have their hands full. i live in suburbia and work in the hood so i get to see both sides of it. The money just isn't there for the boroughs that need it

granted supras look amazing and their incredibly sought after, but an NA for 21k isnt really reasonable. my boy Gates picked up a twin turbo supra a couple months ago from down south for like 27k or something with 100 somethin thousand miles on the odometer.

nothing on those cars are cheap, and for the money i want it to be fast so NA isnt gonna cut it.

well hopefully they will get on incorporating pittsburgh and the surrounding suburbs into the greater pittsburgh metropolitan area like they have been talking about.

that should help to redistribute the tax money a bit more fairly to police, ems, etc...
