Thousands Ticked, Arrested by Va State Police on I66 and I64
Posted on Aug 29, 2010
The Virginia State Police have completed their fifth targeted weekend patrol of the year. The campaign, known as Operation Air Land and Speed, targets drivers on Virginia's two interstate corridors, I66 and I64.
If you were traveling on these interstates and got a ticket don't be surprised. State troopers cited and arrested over 2,000 people during the past weekends traffic safety campaign. On I-66 officers cited 348 people for speeding, 82 for reckless driving, two for driving drunk and 17 for safety violations. Six people were arrested for drug offenses or felonies.
Interstate 64 netted even more violations for troopers. Nearly 1,900 drivers were ticketed for speeding, 312 for reckless driving, seven for drunk driving and 135 for safety belt violations.
Though some contest the fairness of such mass ticketing campaigns, police will continue to use the targeted safety checks. Col. W. Steven Flaherty believes that their increased presence improves the safety of Virginia's interstates.
"By stepping up our presence on selected interstate corridors, we know it directly affects drivers' behaviors and actions," said Col. Flaherty.
If you have received a traffic ticket or believe that you have been unfairly arrested please contact your Virginia Beach criminal law attorney at Tavss Fletcher today for your free consultation.
