I-95 apparently swimming with cops in Virginia

Just heard from a friend. Cops are all over the place on I-95 from Richmond to DC. Preemptive presence seems to be the consensus.

Oh just for stopping by - the Air Force Colonel that got busted at the riot’s nickname at the Air Force Academy was “Torch”. Not because of his red hair but because he dropped ordinance early and set a bombing range on fire. He’s an idiot to start with.

and several on Rt. 11. Didn’t connect it with the insurrectionists until seeing this thread. Figured it was a drug trafficking thing.
Rt. 9 at Hillsboro in VA is still being detoured, so if they try to come that way, they’ll be sent all over the boondocks and hopefully get lost.

i was injecting a bit of humor, but i'm glad for the stepped up presence honestly.
we can drive like normal people for a little bit to deter more criminal activity like we've seen...

Easily my least favorite road to drive on.

If it's not jam packed, it's speed trap after speed trap.
