    It could’ve been a roadside inspection, but most Troopers prefer to do that somewhere with a bit more room to work than the average 10’ wide shoulder.

    That said, it could’ve tailgating, unsafe lane change, or anything else.

    Worked with a kit who's dad as a LT. in the local POPO.

    He often stated 'there are no quotas' but his dad's unit was 'responsible' for a ticket book a month while the State Troopers did one per week. but there is no quota....

    My experience in NJ , late at night and flying low, driving a pickup and not smelling of booze or weed ended up in a minor infraction as the troopers often said 'I had to write something"...That trailer hitch ball on my step bumper resulted in a few 'obscured license plate' tickets; somehow I always forgot that I told the last trooper I would remove it...

    There may be one infraction with the C2 reflective tape covering up a couple chocolate chips on those cookies.
