Instead of saying "today"... why don't you put a date! Because, tomorrow, and the next day, and the next day... will still say "today"! What day is "today"?

Why is it a speed trap. If you are speeding you should get a ticket!

In that case I'd use the title... "I'm winning the lottery today!"

Ooper. sorry, I didn't think that was necessary since every post is date and time stamped.

Anywho, the trap is gone now.

No problem... but the boys with radar are usually only stationed at on eplace for a couple hours... then they need a doughnut break!

Being a police officer is a dangerous job. I did it for several years and would never consider it again. They clean up the mess that nobody else wants to deal with. Their life is in danger every time they make a traffic stop. They keep our streets and homes free from people who wish to do us harm...people who wish to steal what we have. They engage dangerous felons so that we don't have to. They work nights, weekends and holidays so that we are safe. I put them in the same category as our military men and women.

The constant badgering about doughnuts and police really makes me sad. If you have a crisis at your home, you will forget about doughnuts and call your local police. Men and women for whom I have a great deal of respect.

Gotta agree with the boss on this one.

The police here seem to be asleep. I know that Marion is just a small part of the Villages but limits need to be enforced. Marion needs the money as well as Sumpter.

do you really think it is because they need the money? How about deterring the speeders. I have seen police with radar in Marion county.

I absolutely agree!!

Gee, every car I've owned was capable of considerably exceeding the speed limit. Do you feel I should have a governor installed on my current car?

Not necessarily. You do have a speedometer on your car to keep track of your speed and you are not limited to 20 mph on roads.

car drivers are the biggest offenders here, how many of you, who are so self righteous about cart speeds, do the speed limit in their cars? how many do 25 on unmarked villages roads...that IS the speed limit after all, what about using turn signals? Let he who is without sin cast the first stone....I should hear nothing but silence if you are honest!

[railroadman]

The reason police do very little patrolling, these days? Patrolling does not pay anything!

Just saw an unmarked Police car (silver) with two Police giving tickets to carts on Morse 1/4 mile South of the Rio Grande Traffic Light.
