In Michigan, the connection between budget shortfalls and speeding tickets is becoming more and more noticeable for citizens.
It's said that more troopers will soon be parked on the sides of roads with radar guns. Michigan State Police Department is asking troopers to cut their mileage by 20 percent, due to the $ 3.1 million budget deficit. More of the troopers will patrol only on the way back from calls. They will run hand-held police radar guns and other activities, rather than driving around the city.
