Cops In the Sky

Preview:

Imagine this: It's a gorgeous spring day in Miami and you're thoroughly tempted to lower the top of your rental car and push the power pedal a little too hard in a bid to break free from the traffic crush on the Palmetto. But, though there may not seem to be a heavy police presence on the freeways on this particular day, you can be pretty sure that someone up in the sky is keeping a close eye on speeding vacationers and the massive traffic tailbacks they're trying to avoid.

Welcome to Florida, and aviation law enforcement from the state's Highway Patrol. It's one of the few states in the U.S. that employs aircraft to monitor speeders reckless drivers and, sometimes, soon-to-be felons fleeing a police pursuit (Nevada and Minnesota are among a dozen others). And if you never quite realized what those strange white lines on freeways mean, well, now you will.

My thoughts:

If you thought the streets were safe, think again. If you're gonna be out driving, BE RESPONSIBLE!!! Law enforcement will never lessen its efforts to keep a watchful eye on us, and this is just one of many methods being taken to keep us in line. In lieu of current events, I have very mixed feelings about this in terms of rights to privacy issues and such. However, it is a fact that people need to be responsible on the road. Be careful out there people!
