I love the app for that feature, has saved me a few times. I wish Waze would have saved my ass a few weeks back, driving through west Texas. 87 in a 75. Ooof.

There are many stretches of Texas interstate that has 80mph speed limits. Edit: I’m wrong.

Lostboy 105 Posted November 6, 2022 7 hours ago, RadioGunner said: My best defense is to look for where cops hide, and make doubly and triply sure I am not going to violate traffic laws especially in front of them. I know many of their hiding spots in my regular drives. In an actual stop say nothing other than what's necessary, take the ticket and fight it in court. My PTC is not usually visible. It's in a hidden compartment of my wallet or purse. I drive extra carefully when transporting firearms. I always have and always will. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can't count the number of times ive left the police department saw a cop from my dept and smoked passed them doing 90. meh they know my car and the rookies that don't see my ID before my dl. some of the perks of being a cop without being one. I also see the general vibe from the police about nj being shall issue which is why I wouldn't show them i have mine 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Displaced Texan 11,731 Posted November 6, 2022 I think it depends on where you are in Texas. Some areas are known for pretty rigorous speed enforcement. Some are not. I didn’t get lucky. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is there any particular reason the rules don't apply to you? Do you have special driving skills? Is there something about your vehicle that would make it clear to someone waiting to pull out into traffic or change lanes that you're going to arrive much sooner than expected? My guess is probably not. Having people in a position where the rules don't apply to them is bad enough, but to then crow about it as if it is funny instead of disgustingly corrupt is demonstrative of why this is such a shitty State. 2 4 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you cant beat them...join them. We all know the system is corrupt and justice in this state isnt blind to those that have connection and cash. What does crying about the system being corrupt get you? Same old same old. The state is never going to change with the corruption. I learned long ago that I could either cry about it like some and think that I can vote and get rid of corruption in this state (lol) or join them and get some of the same perks. You'll be a happier person once you learn you arent going to win against the corruption in NJ and the only way to win is to leave or join in anyway you can. 2 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

124gr9mm 859 Posted November 7, 2022 I'll be checking with the court this week to see if they can provide some kind of idea where my application sits. I submitted my application to PD on July 26, and i received notice on October 12 that it was with the court, so I'm over 110 day s total and approaching 30 with the court. EDIT - Just got off the phone with the court. The VERY nice woman who answered the phone advised that there was a huge influx of applications and people calling for status updates, so she took my information and forwarded it on to one of the administrators who would follow up with me.

Don't feed the troll. You gave him exactly what he wanted, attention. Typical mindset of a wannabe LEO. Guarantee you he's a dispatcher that walks around with an owb phone, military boots, and the cop cut to match. Might have even flunked the academy. Anyhow, really hoping we see an uptick in approved applications this week.. as we approach the holidays I can only imagine the vacations amongst court personnel is going to greatly delay what is already a snail-paced process. And to think - I scoffed at the records clerk back in July when he said "you MIGHT get it by December, maybe even later". 1 2 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The signs say otherwise, but you WILL NOT get pulled over between mile marker 0 to ~135ish unless you are doing 81+ The "understood" limit was 85 before Corzine almost died in a state trooper SUV that was doing 95+ through ocean county.

RadioGunner 218 Posted November 7, 2022 Veterans day and thanksgiving - vacations are coming! Then we have Christmas. Things will get slow for sure. Then there is A4769, where the courts are on record that they want “out” sooner rather than later. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As applicant 537, I expect to see my permit around Easter. Last I've seen confirmed as of last week was #186 The number approved applications have been extremely inconsistent week to week. I wouldnt be surprised though if this week they get up to near ~250, as 2 weeks ago it seemed like the got out 40 in one clip. However, it's all a guess with this shit-show of a process. Best of luck, fingers crossed, knock on wood and all that good stuff Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
