I believe there was a meeting in Acworth recently to discuss an exit off of I-75 that would run up Third Army Road, cross over (Overpass) Hwy 41, and continue onto Dabbs Bridge.

Rude accusations; what rude accusations? I’m not going to coddle; it was put out there as an arrest for 15 over the speed limit. Reason and logic beg the question, was there something more? The “rude accusation” accusation restated he went to jail, but didn’t nail down it was for speeding alone. Can you go for 15 over? Yep, but the odds are very slim. The liability factor alone of putting someone in jail for an offense usually released on a copy makes it highly unlikely. Once in custody he / she becomes the responsibility of the SO. Let that person slip and fall in the jail, and everyone will

70 in a 55 zone = Jail? What's the rest of the story?

If not in a school, construction, or residential zone; you had to be doing at least 11 mph over the speed limit to get cited.

You mean like former Cobb County, GA, Public Safety Director Mickey Lloyd?

Am I the only one that thought it might have been a good idea for the garbage truck to have been thoroughly cleaned before driving it in a parade?

Several of those states do not say checkpoints are unconstitutional or prohibit them.

Prosti-toasties. They don’t snap, crackle or pop; just lay there and bang.

These things are set up months in advance; so much for the Sunday sales theory. They primarily use traffic enforcement officers; so much for no cops on patrol. The checkpoints wouldn’t be done if they were illegal; so much for 4th Amendment theories. You, I and everyone else have the right of movement; you have no right to do so by automobile, or aircraft for that matter. Feel free to walk across the country. If an officer stops you and you haven’t done anything wrong tell him you’re exercising your rights. If they continue to detain you; sue is a verb as well as a noun. The primary agency is

This event is being conducted by the Western Regional Traffic Enforcement Network (WRTEN). The enforcement is rotated to a different jurisdiction each month. The benefit is shared resources. If you have a small dept and set up a check point, your resources can be overwhelmed in a hurry. As for being “interrogated” and “searched”; the encounter is brief. The officer asks to see the drivers license, makes a plain view observation, checks the tag, and you’re on your way. You don’t have to say a word; although most people do exchange greetings with the officer or ask what is going on. The officer

Some are announced, some are not. The lead agency decides.

Jetasmom - You have no obligation to engage in conversation with an officer at a road check. You are required to display your license. Looking in the window of a vehicle on a street is a far cry from walking onto someones property.

What search and interrogation?

These events are planned well in advance. Paulding is using their traffic officers; adjusting their work hours.

The 100 officers are from multiple agencies.

Cops escort people to the hospital all the time... in the movies. Most departments prohibit escorts. If an officer escorts and the trailing vehicle is involved in an accident, the liability falls on the officer.

I don’t know long you can live after your head is chopped off; but I know people who have been living for years with their head up their a$$.

Doesn’t sound like blame; sounds like a public service announcement. These mutts weren’t doing like the ones in Atlanta; smash and grab and could have been deterred by employing the locks that the manufacturer installs for the purpose of…

Who blamed the victims?

Unfortunately DBR may be getting worse. The DOT recommendation is to increase the speed limit to 45 mph; which law enforcement, with the exception of GSP will not be able to enforce unless the violator is at least 10 mph over the speed limit… 55 mph.

What will Chaplains do after the repeal of DADT goes into effect?

It would be interesting to see how much is actually saved by the furloughs. Most government jobs, especially public safety have to be manned to respond to the needs of the public. If you send one employee home, you end up paying the other one overtime. It’s not like they are closing the business a couple of hours early and sending everyone home.

1. The reduction in speed to 55 mph on U.S. highways had nothing to do with the interstate systems inability to handle higher speeds. The speed limits were lowered by the federal government as a fuel saving measure in 1974.

Some programs are offering enlistment bonuses. The Naval Reserve ‘NAT Program’ frontloads a bonus (@ $15,000.00) and educational benefits. NATs are placed on active duty while they go through basic training and their ‘A’ School. They are then discharged from active duty and affiliated with a reserve unit. The benefit is they can start using education benefits immediately. CAUTION: If you fail to complete your commitment; they will get the money back, even if it means seizing future tax returns.
