As I mentioned back in January, I took my family on a Road Trip to KC over the holidays. On there way to KC, I took I-40 to I-35. Once we exited California, I only saw a few Highway Patrol cars on the 40 until Oklahoma City, which was mainly due to the construction - no radar guns or cops in hiding.
We left KC the morning of December 30th and I made the (stupid) decision to take the Northern Route home because it's about 90 minutes shorter. I saw
15 Highway Patrolman on K-10 and I-70 in Kansas. They were visible on the freeway medians but it felt like they were everywhere and I saw a few of them peel out after speeders.
I saw one in Colorado, one in Utah and none in Nevada. With the speed limit in most states set at 75 mph, I didn't even bother going even 1 mph over the speed limit. It wasn't worth it for many reasons but I didn't want to stand out, especially driving a black SUV with California license plates.
