Its the 6th annual DC metro area police fundraiser, aka Smooth Operator which means the police will be handing out traffic tickets as if they were candy. Areas in particular to watch out for are Rt. 28 between Manassas and Sterling, the FFX Co/Franconia Pkwy, PWC pkwy, and 66/495.

There were police running lidar already this evening on 28 in Centreville.
