Oklahoma highway patrol targeting chasers today (May 18)

There's nothing wrong with the sign placement or his visibility, everything is legal. Those who are slow to brake create their own risk. Like Bill Murray said at the bottom of the pool in Caddyshack, "It's no big deal." LOL

I got stopped just across the New Mexico line, north of Clovis. Local chased me down and walked up to the window. I handed him my paperwork, and he said " oh no, I just wanted to see what was showing up on radar, I knew you'd have one". Heck of a nice guy.

I was stopped for speeding several years ago by a Colorado state trooper, and after several minutes he returned to my car and handed me my license along with his business card instead of a ticket. He told me "if you could forecast better, you wouldn't have to speed." I told him that I couldn't argue with that and he just laughed and told me to be careful.

As I've always said, you don't need new laws to stop chasing. If they want to crack down hard, it's not difficult to do. I believe we will see more and more of this selective targeting. Ticketing is just the first part. If you have to appear before a judge and he / she does not like chasers, you might be cleaning the side of the road wearing orange as chasers go passing by. (Man that would suck!)

What I foresee are more "reckless driving-type" citations. Those are very serious traffic offenses. You could have your license suspended or be thrown in jail. It's up to LEO to determine the justification, e.g., passing emergency vehicles that are not actually blocking the road.

I also see a new television commercial coming soon: "Hello storm chasers! This is attorney Saul Goodman. Have you or a loved one been pulled over while chasing and charged with a serious traffic offense? Don't throw your rights to the wind. Call me now for a free consultation."

If I think I am in danger I don't care about laws

The law won't care whether you THINK you are in danger. They might care if you are ACTUALLY in danger, but given the law's an ass I wouldn't count on it.
