Brooklyn Park, Minnesota Speed Traps

Almost always see patrol cars with radar equipment just north of HWY 610 on HWY 169. They sit at intersection on the west side of 169. This morning I saw 2 brand new dodge charger cruisers black in color -watch out! You can’t rely on the Crown Victoria outline to give them away. I see fund raisers all the time on this small stretch.

05/30/06 at 2:18pm Memorial Day. Two Brooklyn Park Police just outside of the highway entrance from 94W to 169N to pulled us over. Did not ask for proof of insurance. Just wanted our license and gave us a ticket and said that the Laser was very accurate! I asked for to view the Laser report and he refused! Watch out! $142.00 per car money making operation going on!

On 63rd Ave North, just North of Crystal Airport between Zane Ave and Cnty Rd/Hwy 81. The speed is 30MPH, and its tough to go slower than 35-40. The squad cars sit in the dead end streets adjacent to the airport. I see them 2 or 3 mornings each week on way to work. They aslo like to park at the bottom (out of immediate site)of the Zane Ave bridge where Zane Ave crosses over 694. They use both Laser and Radar (Ka Band). I bought a radar/laser dectector for this reason.

After/Before the Mississippi River bridge on the Hennipen County side (West River Road overpass), MN HWY 610 splits into MN HWY 610 west, and MN HWY 252 south (two lanes dedicated to both). The speed limit is 65 MPH, and the road curves slightly after nearly three miles of straightaways. Right in the middle of the road, after the cement lane barriers end, there is a handy flat spot for "emergency turn arounds" that just happens to be wide enough for a full size sedan to park at an angle. This is usually enforced by state troopers (but not always)in their dark cars after midnight on the weekends. I was really lucky, when I discovered this, for they were aimed toward the other side of the highway. Just a heads up, Anoka/Hennepin counties and Brooklyn Park/Coon Rapids have a jurisdiction agreement that allows them to enter the opposite (so don’t try to run).

When going towards the 610 bridge where theres and exit onto noble slow down! every once in awhile a line of up to 8 police cars will be on the exit ramp on the other side ,unseen from the drivers until its to late, and another police officer will be ontop of the bridge with the laser checking every car. Once you see that cop if you are over 70mph ,the speed limit is 65, you are already busted my only advice is accept that your busted and drive on.
