COPS Program Over Subscribed
 
Civilians On Patrol for Speeders on multi modal paths program has been over subscribed and we have a wait list. Our vehicles and equipment will not be in for 2 months so we will have to go under cover until then. Our research shows that the Yamaha Golf Cars are 90% of the speeders. Our research also shows that of those 90% at least 50%, the ones with seat belts, are the biggest offenders. We will limit our initial patrols to the Squares from 5-8 pm and ticket only the Yamaha Golf Cars with seat belts. This will take a big load off our future work. Tickets can be attached to the windshields and will have instructions on payment. Thanks again for your service to make the Villages safer.

See if the cart smells like a cigar....................cigar smokers and the worst speeders.

Since I have a Yamaha with seatbelts, I’m going to remove the windshield so I can’t get a ticket. Problem solved.

Probably a calendar malfunction.

Those who hang their knee outside the cart, will be accessed a double fine for speeding in both lanes:MOJE_whot:

This program had a few month hiatus but they have been active now since march 1. Sneaky, I got busted by 1 near Sumter Sq yesterday. I was passing another slow poke and got nabbed. Reckless driving while passing, $95 fine.

Do these tickets also apply to electric bicycles, unicycles, scooters and "Atomic Cars". Segregating Yamaha Golf Carts with seatbelts is being discriminatory and probably illegal. If this is going to be an enforced ordinance, then speed signs need to be posted on all cart paths at regular intervals. Regardless what may be written within any documentation regarding this, posted speed limits must be in place. And tickets must be able to be contested before a magistrate, with the enforcing principle present for the hearing. Who is going to manage and monitor this? Where do the fine fees go? How will "over zealous" ticket cops be administered to and complaints handled?
