Default Those who take the downtown tunnel, this is your warning

If you have anything illegal on your car I would advise taking another way home. This mainly applies to those going from downtown portsmouth to norfolk. I went home on my lunch break and where you would merged right before the tunnel there was a state trooper standing there in traffic pulling people out of line. Those who take the tunnel know what I'm talking about, traffic is creeping about 1 mph and he was scoping out every car that went by. Pulling people off to the side for (what I saw) inspection stickers and exhaust. I only saw two get pulled during the time I was there, but god knows how many he got.

I thought it was a pretty shitty way of ticketing people since it screwed with the traffic and made it even worse. So this is you're warning.

What type of cars did you see get pulled out of line? I like the tunnels, sounds so good driving through them. An angel gets its wings every time I drive through one.

Totally random from what I saw. Some guy wouldn't let me merge into traffic and he got pulled for an inspection sticker. I thought it was funny 'cause he was being a dick. His car was totally stock. The other car was stock with a muffler, I mean this guy didn't even have rims, and the state trooper whipped his head around when it passed and pointed to him to pull over.

Funny thing is, I've seen sherriffs out there doing it twice. Not sure if they wrote tickets though, I didn't even think sherriffs could do that.

Now that I think about it, this might be an attempt to crack down on illegal inspection stickers. Of course tickets for other shit is an added bonus, shit he could probably meet his quota in a day. Shooting fish in a barrel.
