Highway patrol in Puna?

[missydog1]

Federal enforcement has been in play at the Park for a long time. The stretch of Hwy 11 from VNP a good ways into Ka'u is all inside the boundaries. One of my sons was commuting from Hilo to HOVE for a while for a construction project, and he noted the federal police were always in place in stealth mode at points where drivers were prone to exceed that 45 mph stretch that was downhill all the way going Ka'u. He saw people pulled over regularly.

Which is why when we drove through together, he told me to stay strict to the limit, because a federal ticket is no fun.

What can the police see at night when one drives by to warrant the pull covers?

um, as long as cars have lights, not hard to see weaving and other obvious signs of insobriety, plus they don't need to see much to use radar and catch speeders.

I'm surprised you're surprised. Police watching drivers at the time people are leaving bars? I thought that was an age old custom.
