Default PA Tickets, Watch Out!!!

Got this in an e-mail, unconfirmed:

Starting today 02/12/08, Pennsylvania will launch a 30 day speeding ticket
frenzy. The state estimates that 9 million dollars will be generated in
speeding tickets. 1 million will go to pay state troopers' overtime.
There will be 50 state troopers on duty at all times patrolling the 9
main intersections and highways. They are the following:

I-279 north and south
I-376 east and west
I-76 east and west
I-80 east and west
I-79 north and south
I-70 east and west
PA-60
PA-66
US-22

5 mph above the limit can justify a ticket and every state trooper is
supposed to pull a car over and write a ticket every 10 to 20 minutes.
They have issued 30 brand new unmarked Dodge Charger Police cruisers and
are bringing i n all of their part timers on full time. If you work in
Western Pennsylvania, you will probably take one of these highways.
It's up to you how fast you are going when they clock you.

KDKA and WDVE confirmed all of this. So be safe and don't forget
speeding tickets are on you.

Driving Ticket fine increase in PA:

Starting on August 15th, the price of a ticket for violation of PA
Law 39:3-29 (failure to show your driver's license, registration, or
& insurance card at the time you are stopped) is going from $44.00 to
$173.00.

Please make sure your vehicles have the proper documents in
them. If you jump in the car to run to the store and forget your wallet
with your license in it and you are stopped.... Oh well... you just
spent $173. And the fine for not having all three documents is $519!!!

Forward to people in Western PA, and let them know of this change!

Unhappy Can An Officer send someone else in Court?

Thanks fot the advise, I just read it a little late.
I got I speeding ticket on S 199, Upper Mount Bethel with a radar.
I plead not guilty and went to court. Now..... I got a reduce in points, but do you guys know if a police officer can send somebody else in his place and still count??
I think I got screwed. Maybe if I wanted it I would walk with no points at all.....
Someone told me they can not send somebody else, and that the case will had be it dismissed....... Comments anyone?

It should be dismissed. If they can't testify to you speeding...then it didn't happen.
