Post The cops seem to be out in full force in Atlanta

I assume they are making up for the lost week during the ice storm. Everytime I've driven around I've seen tons of local and GSP with radar and writing tickets and pulling people over.

Be careful and slow down!

I've had a few Gwinnett friends get hit for various other charges lately (expired tag which led to an impounded car and another got a ticket for an improper left turn by Gwinnett Place mall). Be sure to stay careful, seems like they're trying to make up the difference now that they can't use radar/laser.

Can anyone tell me why? I used to always see a speed trap set up by the hospital on Pleasant Hill but not anymore. Also they used to be under the Buford Highway overpass as well.

Due to a dispute they lose access to them.

from what i understand, gwinnett county did not pay to renew their license to use the equipment or something to that degree. they cannot use the evidence brought forth from either radar or laser in court. but they can still cite you for speed based on observation, BS!!

I noticed that too. I used to always see them and knew to slow down around those 2 areas, and still do, but haven't seen them for a while now.
