that's a lot of resources....
Working it hard on the South bound side near Brook Hollow. Sneaky little bas s. They have a guy hiding on a bridge on the access road with a radar gun on a tripod...he's got like 5 or 6 chase cars/motorcycles over the next hill. I saw him but there were a bunch that didn't.
Thanks for that info CC. I'll be out that way today.
I guess SAPD is hittin' it hard, before the 4th of July weekend, when they need to concentrate on all the drunk drivers.
I just passed it ... there were 6 of them between Bitters & Thousand Oaks. They had 2 pulled over. That was messed up.![]()
There is usually someone posted at that spot everyday; I've been stopped and warned before. But I've never seen them out there in that magnitude. I guess they're warming up for the big weekend.
They have a guy hiding on the bridge every day? I'm not talking about a car on the side of the road...this cop was kneeling behind a wall on the bridge and had the radar gun on a tripod shooting at the oncoming traffic.
Well if your not speeding then you have nothing to worry about right?
sneaky ing bas s, at least be men about catching speeders.
unless you are going with the flow of traffic at 70-75 mph.
i find it maddening when traffic flows at that rate and everything is smooth as a baby's ass.
then a cop appears and its bottleneck city.
maddening!
Thanks for the heads up
i got caught speeding the other week on 410 right near blanco. same except there was no dude kneeling with a tripod, instead there was an unmarked charger calling the shots. signaled to a motorcycle cop and the lights went a flashin'.
there was atleast 3-4 others pulled over that i could see within a block or two distance.
They have a car there almost every day. But I have seen the guy with the gun/tripod on the bridge and a guy on the ramp ready to go on many occasions.
last time I was on 281, just north of there, I was lucky to hit 10mph since the traffic was so heavy. Go 20 feet, stop, go 10 feet, stop.
I vaguely remember that someone fought a ticket from one of these mass speed traps once and beat it in the appeals courts....legal grounds were that the cop that wrote the ticket didn't witness the offense...
They have used this trap in that location for a while now. I worked in that area for a while and they were always pulling people over - it's crazy how many cars/police they dedicated in that area for that trap.
My husband said SAPD has an unmarked Camero roaming about now.
My neighborhood has some major speed traps going through it. It's usually the by the Constables. There are four stop signs and people blow them off all the time, so it's a good thing, but they are pretty much there every day...sometimes 3 at a time.
He's right:

They have more than one camaro. Saw a dark gray/black one a couple days ago.
Just saw it at Culebra and 410 not even an hour ago.
LOL they used to run these kind of motorcycle dragnets in D/FW all the time when we lived up there. Funny thing it was never Dallas doing it - it was the suburbs like Plano and Allen, the ones that *really* needed the money.
Dallas never pulled ANYONE over. You had people bombing down Central and 635 (when traffic allowed) at 90-100 mph.
they've been hitting that area like that for well over a year now.
At first, i thought they were training rookie traffic cops......now I'm thinking that's not the case....
they are also sitting underneath the turnarounds at Bitters/281, DeZavala I-10, and 281/1604 etc catching people not wearing seatbelts and I guess checking inspection/registration stickers.
I saw the Camero on 35 near BAMC the other day. People were so re ed. The right hand lane came to an almost complete stop to check out the getting a speeding ticket.
And on a side note, I haven't seen anyone being stopped on 410 near Blanco in the last month and I drive in m-f at rush hour but koriwhat is like the 5th person I have heard say that they have seen police stopping people in that area.
i hate that checkpoint bull ...
Maybe a training run to start checking for legal status? Just saying...
