Rt 84 eastbound, Exits 16 and 17.

Unmarked state police cars pulling people over:

1. late-model burgundy Camaro (do they still make these?);
2. dark gray Dodge Charger with a cheesy faux-chain license plate bracket.

the license plate thing is what most surprised me. never saw that. and for me, the telltale sign the car's not a cop when coming up on it. just a heads up to my fellow connecticutians.

 

muchas gracias, merci beaucoup and so on.. It's a road I rarely travel but hey, one never knows when those same unmarked troopers make it down to the 95 corridor.

 

Between 84 and Route 8 these cars are being seen more often.

More sneeky is the trooper in a highway maintenance vehicle (orange P/U truck) with laser gun. Down further are all the chase cars and foot troopers directing you to pull over and if you don't, a few high speed chase cars at the ready.

Thanks for the heads up. Glad I use the K-40 when I drive the Porsche, but company car has nothing.

Some of my least fond police memories are from Rte 84 during the 80s when I was in college in CT.

Wasn't there a line from Cannonball Run saying something like, "at least noone has the death penalty for speeding,....maybe except for CT."

 

Thanks for the heads up!!!

 

Back in the late 70's, I saw a stake bed truck parked in the breakdown lane with a cop with radar gun kneeling behind some bails of hay................they are sneaky SOBS.

 

CT has never been bashful about their true intentions regarding speed enforcement. It's not deterrence; it's revenue generation. If they really cared about slowing down traffic, they would make their presence conspicuous rather than lurking in the shadows.
