    DPS ticketing slows on Valley freeways

    Troopers blame increasing demands, cuts in staff

    If it seems like motorists are getting away with more traffic violations on Valley freeways in recent months, it's not just your imagination.

    Arizona Department of Public Safety officers have dramatically cut back the number of tickets they are writing. It is unclear whether the citation slowdown is a form of on-the-job "blue flu" by officers disgruntled about low pay or the result of an understaffed Highway Patrol force that is near the breaking point.

    Regardless, Maricopa County Justice Court records show that traffic offenses submitted in May by the DPS plummeted 44 percent countywide from May 2003, with officers writing 5,530 fewer violations than they did in May 2003. Over a three-month period, the number of traffic charges dropped by a quarter; DPS records show that total traffic stops and drunken-driving arrests also fell.

      For those of you in Chicago, or passing through, the Edens Expressway - 94 has only one State Trooper for both directions from the Edens Spur to the Junction at the Kennedy.

      Pretty much a free speed zone, 55 is the posted limits, 80+ is the normal speed limit with faster speeds in the left lane.

      Gov. Skippy and his budget crisis has made it next to impossible to get more State cruisers on the highways, and the only time you see more than one State cop car is when someone wraps their car around a tree. So much for being proactive, more like reactive law enforcement.

          Well we need to focus our police forces on those damn pot smokers before we can start worrying about some petty speeders.

                              That's a vicious circle, with revenue down and staff numbers down.
