NYST pulled over my fiance for dark tints!!! WTF!!

I hope she got papered.

[Dr. Peebody]

well i got a v&t detail tomorrow.....and if this guy is an indication of the motoring public, the tint law is something people aren't familiar with.....guess i'll spend my afternoon reaquainting our citizens with it.

[SlowDownThere]

Based on a few experiences, people get upset over tint law more than almost any other section of the VTL. I usually recommend that they write their local legislator and request that the law be rewritten... I guess enough of them haven't written in yet.

LOL, too funny! It's funny because it's true.

[SlowDownThere]

Just marijuana and coke.

OK, then.

You mean that shiney gold or silver target thing cops wear on their uniform?

I had a detail too... it only took 15 minutes before an obstinate motorist found us.

It sounds a lot like a traffic detail I was on that day too. What are the odds?

2011 Budget

To any of the Troopers on here (SDT) any news of the budget yet? Hoping that the Governor doesn't cut funding to the State Police or the Academy. I processed back in the Fall of 08' Passed everything, just waiting for my number to come up, which by the way is in the 500's from that list. Thanks, God Bless. Nick

I actually heard through the grapevine that they proposed to layoff more than the last class. I don't think they will offer a test soon. Wonder if they will go through with layoffs of guys already on the job.

Then maybe I misunderstood what I read. I saw that full time employment in the patrol unit was being reduced by 87 positions, and the Investigative unit was losing 43 positions. I was under the impression that the last class that went in was only approx.90 members, so it seemed as though they were just going to let go of the last class.

That was the information that I have. My buddy's brother sent it to me as he knows I am hoping to get into the next class.
