Received the following information from the Mid-Atlantic Ducati Owners mail list, but can't vouch for the authenticity. So, for what it's worth...



Operation Yellow Jacket

Look out for Penn dot trucks parked along the road
or appearing behind you pacing you, it could be a
Trooper driving the truck, it is called 'Operation Yellow
Jacket' and will be off and on all summer, each district
has a truck cleaned up and ready to go!

Starting today, Pennsylvania will launch a 30 day
speeding ticket frenzy. The state estimates that 9
million dollars will be generated in speeding tickets.
1 million will go to pay state troopers'overtime.
There will be 50 state troopers on duty at all
times patrolling the 9 main intersections and highways.
They are the f ollowing:

every state tr ooper is supposed to pull a car over and
write a ticket every 10 to 20 minutes. They have issued
30 brand new unmarked Dodge Charger Police cruisers
and are bringing in all of their part timers on full
time.

Driving Ticket fine increase in PA:
