Warning: Cops out in full force Labor Day weekend

Ready to give out tickets if you go 5 mph over the limit. Turn off your mppsk to avoid unwanted attention. I saw multiple chips style formation cop bikes today. Several folks getting pulled over, etc.

It's for good reason, I've been drunk the whole day and intend to do my level best to stay that way for the entire weekend.

Of course, I have a permanent spousal DD but I'm sure lots of stupid people out there are still planning on driving

Good post. I drove I-95 from DC all the way to Florida yesterday. SC and Georgia had an INSANE amount of cops out. Things seemed normal in VA, NC, and FL.
