It seems once a every 4 months they set up a inpection/registration sting at the entrance of the Northway just as you go over the bridge it decends and bam 6 cops out of their cars looking for inspections. The sad thing about this set up is that there is no warning as you are trying to gain speed to get on the highway you are forced to come to a stop in a very short distance. I have seen many accidents there because of the way they set this up. It should be stopped! People could be harmed.

State police use a gold colored minivan that sits on the shoulder of the highway appearing to be disabled with it’s tailgate up. Troopers are inside firing radar/lidar out the back at oncoming vehicles. State police cruisers are waiting nearby usually out of site to persue violators upon notice from minivan. Have seen this tactic used both northbound and southbound between exits 4 and 5.

The state university cops hang out all over on University Drive, Fuller Road and Tricentennial Drive. I got $140+ in tickets for speeding and "rolling through a stop sign," even though no one else was around. Watch for them in the trees…
