Why are there so many cops?!? Sept 06
Ok, this whole week I've seen an obvious jump in police, CHP, and Sheriff presence all around the south bay (probably everywhere too). What is going on?
This seems way heavier than "end of the month quota" thing... it's like it's a terror alert or something.
Anyone know what's going on?
Did the cops figure out that "terror alert" => more cop presence => more ticket revenues?

Santa Clara PD was stopping traffic last night on El Camino both directions at about Bowers to hand out flyers on a fatal hit-and-run last Wednesday...I've noticed a lot more CHP in the Santa Cruz area too....

I still barely see cops. but then again the only time I leave my house is to go to work(6 miles), or trader Joes, and safeway(1 mile or less). Otherwise I am on hwy 17 going to Santa Cruz.

it has to do with the new law put into effect on street racing along with the new eniromental and global warming bills on the ballet (theyre blaming cars for a lot of it)....the statewide crackdown on racing and illegal mods and it doesnt hurt that F&F came out...HIN was last weekend and theres been a string of racing related deaths (more than usual).

Yesterday in Newark I passed by four newark cops, a sheriff, and three cops from a different city.
Also about a dozen cops later in the day...coming from the police training grounds in newark.

Im not buying that. My drive to work takes place at 7-8 in the morning. There is very little "street racing" going on and more sitting at red lights.

all shifts are to be more aware of anyone anytime....not just our cars..but people acting stupid because of the high level of auto deaths recently....street racing or not. theyre just trying to pin it on "street racers" who impact the problem. but we all know that its more about the IDIOTS out there driving who dont give a flying **** about anyone else on the road.... and the cops are aware of this too... but why **** off everyone by saying that...instead profile one community and get everyone behind you instead against you

There is some truth to this...
