Plaistow New Hampshire residents complained enough to police, related to the unsafe operation of commercial trucking, that the New Hampshire State Police and the Plaistow PD conducted a one day operation for “excessive speed, violations of weight restrictions, driving on restricted roads, as well as other unsafe behaviors by commercial drivers.”

 

that one day enforcement operation resulted in nearly 150 violations being found. 

One day. 

Obviously police aren't doing code enforcement any more unless it's an "operation" they will get paid over time for. 

And the results prove that they haven't been doing inspections in forever

31 commercial vehicles stopped, 146 violations were discovered

5 drivers out-of-service

7 vehicles out-of-service

Multiple summonses and warnings were issued for issues ranging from speeding to drivers operating in violation of federal out-of-service orders
