Quarterly Reports - these are 'probably' used to focus LEO's time and energy into a very lucrative practice by the State.



Underground Technology Used To Fight Speeding

SEATTLE -- Underground technology is being used to fight speeding on local highways.

The Seattle Times reports that small wire coils are embedded in miles of freeway.

The coils generate electrical pulses used to record speed data when a vehicle passes over them.

The Department of Transportation issues a quarterly report from the data.

The latest report said the section of roadway with the highest percentage of speeders is mile 111 on Interstate 5 in Lacey.

It also said that 40 percent of all drivers were recorded traveling down the highway at at least 5 mph over the posted speed limit.

Nothing new about that "low". States sank a lot further, when they imposed huge fines and 200% taxes on cigarettes, ostensibly for the purpose of doing research on getting people to stop smoking, only to turn around and pour most of the money into their general fund to fight off debt, pay politicians' salaries, etc. VERY little is being spent on stop-smoking campaigns.
