Lol get real and by who’s Authority ? if you don’t pay the speeding ticket do they get to take your golf cart keys away give me a break ,, Why don’t they start putting 4 way stops in and around the squares, you have cars a carts and thru traffic and limited line of site. Fix those problems. How about the broken section of the railing by the small bridge that was broken last year. Most of the accidents happen between golf carts and curbs , just look at the curb side you’ll see all the black, the lack of judgment of some of the operators in my opinion. PS The Villages needs to slow there contractors the frig down they fly on marsh bend trail, and while we’re on contractors they should be fined for leaving massive amount of oil and other fluids left on the street when they park on our streets doing after market work T and D been one of them. My street looks like it’s 100 years old and the run off water is killing the fish.

The Villages will be starting a program to curb the speeding on multi modal paths.
The Citizens on Patrol for Speeders will start ticketing all vehicles that exceed 20 miles per hour. The first ticket will be 25$ and second and forward will be 75$. The Cops will work off a 30% commission rate, use their own golf cars, be equipped with radar guns, sirens, and use their own phone to capture pictures. The excess funds will be used to cover equipment costs, uniforms, food banks, and psychological evaluations for repeat offenders. If your interested in becoming part of COPS please call 1-800-468-9255 on Tuesdays from 10-2. Thank You!

Bingo.

On a more serious note though, I've thought for awhile now that cops working on commission isn't such a bad idea. Back in Minnesota I suggested that off-duty or retired law enforcement officers might like the opportunity to pick up a few bucks on the side doing traffic enforcement, not on golf-cart paths but particularly on freeways and major roads where the scofflaws are omnipresent--and dangerous. There's no reason why it wouldn't work: after all the cops doing the enforcement would still be licensed peace officers and the and rules of evidence, fines, etc. would be the same as if you were nabbed breaking a law on a highway by a cop doing his or her regular shift.

It was greeted with, shall we say, something less than wild enthusiasm. But a surprising number of people thought it would be a good thing to do.
