What's this?

Yes, I do agree with you that the DEA will use them more in interstates

Although I think you could eventually see them on secondary roads (i.e. 11, 15, 17, 28, 29, 33, 42, 460, etc.) because they are frequently used as alternate routes in drug trafficking. The secondary roads listed above are example purpose only. I picked them because they are somewhat heavily used at various times and they could be popular alternate routes to the interstate within VA. If 1 did pop up on US Rt 29, then I am not sure a driver would be able to tell the difference between a DEA funded one and a non-DEA funded one without doing some research on FedBizOpps.

Road signs that tell your speed also track your license plate in Virginia -- VaAkita 10/01/2018 12:52PM

Yea, the government shouldn't have copious amounts of your data for law... -- Vtskier1 10/01/2018 1:40PM

I blame Will. ** -- 48zip 10/01/2018 1:45PM

Wonder if tickets issued on that info will hold up in court? -- EDGEMAN 10/01/2018 12:57PM

In VA, can not use a carmera to issue a speeding ticket without an officer. -- Wythe Hokie 10/01/2018 1:35PM

The DEA doesn't write speeding tickets. ** -- vtbones 10/01/2018 1:07PM

True. Civil Asset Forfeiture is FAR more lucrative ** -- Beerman 10/01/2018 1:24PM

You think that's the only org that gets that info? -- EDGEMAN 10/01/2018 1:14PM

You're the one who thinks a federal agency is going to share it's data -- vtbones 10/01/2018 1:24PM

If states are paying the cost to install them and using state employees -- VTHokie2000 10/01/2018 1:29PM

Doesn't matter in this case. -- vtbones 10/01/2018 1:43PM

I understand the article is talking about a specific place in VA (Lorton) -- VTHokie2000 10/01/2018 1:50PM

Lorton isn't mentioned at all. -- vtbones 10/01/2018 2:04PM

If you click on the "Virginia" hyperlink in the article, then this pops up -- VTHokie2000 10/01/2018 2:32PM

I'd guess these are mostly interstate highway travel, so no locals needed. -- 48zip 10/01/2018 1:36PM

FWIW I see them on secondary roads too -- VTHokie2000 10/01/2018 1:46PM

Oh yeah, I think most today are local roads. But... -- 48zip 10/01/2018 2:11PM

I usually use 17 when running "stuff" to WV. That one just N of I-66 is -- 48zip 10/01/2018 3:05PM

Supposedly 11 and 33 (towards WV) are somewhat popular routes ** -- VTHokie2000 10/01/2018 3:08PM

Probably works like red light cameras. -- Hokie360 10/01/2018 1:05PM

As long as they don't cause a "bump" in your insurance rates...lol ** -- EDGEMAN 10/01/2018 1:06PM
