If not a Bogus email, it's a program that will never work
Can't believe the number of people that just read the OP's post then chimed in without realizing it was an APRIL FOOL'S JOKE...

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!

The blame should fall on the many speeders & drunk drivers who are causing many accidents.
There is a need for MMP’s speed enforcement. I feel that is it is safer to drive cars on the roads than golf carts on the MMP. Many walkers, bikers & etc have been treated rudely by Golf Cart drivers. The speeders tailgate the carts that are going the speed limit. Young grandchildren should not be driving a cart. Those who are causing the accidents & driving their carts recklessly are the reason these MMP cops have been organized. I don’t want to hear all about the traffic cops I want to read how upset people are with the DUI’s, speeders & recklessness of Golf Cart drivers.

This is bull. Turning against neighbors. Every Barney Fife in the community will be out of control looking to show their authority. No traffic accidents warrant this. Very bad idea.
