Ride-along with New York State Troopers
PAINTED POST, N.Y. (WETM) - New York State Police are launching a campaign to recruit new troopers to join the ranks. “We’re recruiting hard this year. We have a test that we’re giving out. It starts July 1st and goes through October,” said NYS Trooper Richard Cunningham, a 21-year-veteran of the force who is also a recruiter.
“We’re doing a really hard push to try to get people to sign up for the test. We’re going to be at your local fairs, sporting events, look for us. We’ll have flyers, we have handouts, we have lots of information for people to gather to understand what they have to do to become a State Trooper and also locations to take the test,” said Cunningham.

My Dad was a NY State trooper for 25 years and worked along that Route 17 corridor. As a family, we'd drive it each summer on our way out to Western New York and my dad would hook up a CB radio and let my brother and I talk to the truckers. Things were definitely a lot simpler back then, with our 1978 Ford Country Squire station wagon, a canoe on the roof and CB radio chatter breaking the silence.
82 in a 65? Cars doing 82 here in Florida drive in the far Right lane and are literally the slowest vehicles on any interstate or the turnpike roads.

The cop was cruising at 81 in the video so he's just as bad as those he's ticketing.

There are good and bad people doing every type of job but I have always had the utmost gratitude and respect for the Police and for members of the Military.
Thankful for our New York State Troopers...
I lived in Upstate NY when I was a kid back in the 1970s. The NYSP had the blue and yellow "Sunoco" cars back then.

No , it’s how easy the job is ! In June of 2023 a trooper was clubbed getting a drink of water at a Thru-Way service plaza , the toilet seat fell on his head !
I'm in western New York and 99% good cops.. I've got in trouble before and the COP got me a lawyer 5 min after getting to jail & Got out 15 min later. He kinda knew me and said "this is so stupid I know you'd never do that" He was right too

I'm glad there first thought was Where to stop the car so it was safe for all, maytimes as a truck driver I see cops pulling cars over in VERY dangerous spots leaving the patrol car partly over the white line only making it likely a car or semi will hit them as cars normally won't yield and let a truck over even with there left turn signal is on cause the car doesn't want to slow down or be behind a truck...

@@unknown4091 Unfortunately it's all at their own discretion when it comes to tickets. I know that if I was an officer myself, I would ticket people based on the speed of all other drivers, not just that of the speed limit sign. 90% of cars going 40 in a 30 does not warrant a ticket; the 2% of cars going 45+ in that 30 deserve a ticket. Although I am an avid police supporter and understand that these cops are still acting within the law, it says a lot about their character when it comes to the offenses they actually ticket people for. A cop ticketing you for 72 in a 55 is an a**hole; no other way around it.
NYS trippers make over $100,000/year! Not finding recruits is crazy.

In NY, State Police vehicles have the "right" to "move through traffic" in the far left lane at whatever speed they deem reasonable. That's how patrolling a Highway works. With that said, If. Sheriff or County/City Cop, on duty or not, was doing 90mph down i87 - They may very well be pulled over by the State Police as they are out of their jurisdiction & have no reason, within the scope of their policing, to be moving through traffic on a highway like that. With all that said, Modern vehicles (1999-Today) Can waft down the highway at 110mph+ as if they're doing 70mph but that's a different/useless subject to discuss.

I’m a native New Yorker and my cousin was a cop who was shot and killed on the job in 1983. I support cops. But if my 27 year old son today said he wanted to become a cop in a state like New York, with a bunch of leftists in control, I would tell him not do it. If he truly wanted to be a cop, there are places where the Governor and local politicians still have your back and you’re not subject to woke bullshit and people second guessing every action you take. Anyone with sense has left states like NY and CA by now.

Honestly, If we could just sell off/cut out/flatten/whatever NYC; Our NYS would be a wonderful place to live again. NYC is really what keeps the state under LimpWrist Democrat control. It needs to be it's own state or just be cut off from the REAL New York. They can even keep the name for all I care. Call them New York & call us Old York. Best York. Upper York. Top York. W/e

'Fridays with Frank' on KZread. Frank is Deputy in Pinal County, Arizona, traffic cop and originally from Long Island NY. Says he moved to Arizona where law abiding citizens can own and possess a gun. He tells it "I like guns and love to shot." From what I've I've seen in his 5 minute episodes, he is one cool cop. I say he's a hell of a nice guy but others would disagree. I highly respect all LEO'S that serve and protect the way they are suppose to be but some are trained differently as cowards and buttholes.
