Wish they did this everyday...

Well there goes having fun this weekend!!! Hahaha.... Hope this is used for actual safety vs earning revenue.

This is only going to get worse with the red light/speed camera ban if it moves through. Coming down the hill from Gennessee has been really bad. Always police there and they are going to pull over somebody

Actually, that ban will have little to do with street patrols. An agency is not going to change it's priorities, and it's manpower, because of the cameras. Cameras vs street patrols are entirely different entities within the agency, neither one affecting the other at all. The only thing I could see is some city's wanting to increase ticket production to make up for the lost revenue. However, by the time this reaches the Officers, it's a very low priority, and most Officers revolt anyway. And the city can't force the issue because it'd be a PR nightmare. You will not see a change in the actions of uniformed Officers based on the cameras.

Shit. I was thinking of hitting Deckers this weekend, there seems to be no rides getting posted on this forum anymore, and the weather is high 70s tomorrow!

[Aaron]

They weren't kidding. Drove I25 from Pueblo through Springs today, and saw 3 CSP Troopers (Normally see 1). And every highway sign had a different message.

[FZRguy]

They won't be looking for impaired drivers in the canyons, so I would expect a normal LEO presence on the roads we like to ride....maybe less!

I rode a bit tonight in the springs, and there were way more patrol units out, saw 7-8 state patrols on academy near academy and I25. County Sheriff and CSPD have stepped up they're presence already. Everyone be safe this weekend they are out in full force waiting for revenue!!

So anyone want to ride today. Lets meet up

[Clovis]

We could meet up and race from stop light to stop light down Academy... and then hit I-25 to race down to Pueblo and back!

Wuff Ryders!

[NZ Darren]

Been at least 1 checking speeds between Springs and Monument, so don't speed there.

[Clovis]

I had to go up to Castle Rock from The Springs Around noon today. Heavy traffic.

3 troopers at monument and another 2 at N academy and I25.

the state is broke people, it's all about the benjimens!

[Drama2]

I just rode I25 up and back to Milliken and saw only 1 cop the entire time. I think they were hiding....

[Wrider]

Or you just suck at spotting them haha.

Two on I-25 just south of the northgate exit in the Springs.

[Drama2]

Probably that...I was more focused on the people on cell phones, wome doing their mascara and the firemen oh dear Lordy those firemen.

Firemen find 'em hot, leave 'em wet.

[Aaron]

Cops find them wet, leave them unable to breathe.

I saw 3 cops consecutively within 10 miles on P2P on Friday evening. Then I think about the time my very expensive mountain bike was stolen and the cops didn't have time to look into it even though I pointed them to the craiglist ad with my stolen bike on it.

[FZRguy]

They rather write $150 tickets than help recover $4k mtn bikes.

[Cars-R-Coffins]

I rode Friday and Saturday and didn't see any cops. Well, unless you count the Jeffco cop in the F-250 with the ATV in the back driving north on 285 from Pine Junction.

Went for a ride Saturday with Troyb. Left 711 Golden at 9:30 took clear creek canyon to Blacjhawk and spotted 4 State Patrol (one in an unmarked red charger). I was actually glad traffic was heavy on the way up or I probably would've been pulled over. Came down Golden Gate no cops. Then went back up Coal Creek, none. Then on the way down Boulder canyon, saw 2 more. Overall not bad. Road conditions were actually pretty good.

Gotta get that tax money one way or another.
