The police were here…

Well…no, it’s not what you think…had a pleasant visit from a couple of officers from the GRPD this morning in response to my complaints about the excessive speed on the street here. They brought along one of those radar signs that show speed on a big display along with a speed limit sign showing what their speed should be…one thing I didn’t know about the newer signs is that every time it is triggered, it records the time date and speed on a computer card so that the cops will have 3 days of info to look at when they come and replace the card…one of the funny things that is happening is that some people are slowing down but some others appear to be speeding up to make their speed higher since they understand that you can’t get a photo radar ticket in Michigan. The bad part is that they don’t have the manpower to do an old fashioned radar trap with a gun and a few cars to stop the speeders so I’m not sure what use the data from the sign is going to be. At least someone in city government listened to me and something happened…really more than I expected.
