S.C Highway Patrol takes to the air.... again

From the Times and Democrat:

The long arm of the law is even longer now that aerial traffic enforcement has been resumed in South Carolina. The South Carolina Highway Patrol issued 23 citations in its first two hours of aerial enforcement patrols of a five-mile stretch of Interstate 26 in Orangeburg and Calhoun counties.

SCHP Troop Seven initiated the aerial enforcement patrols from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on July 19 on the westbound side of Interstate 26 from the 154 mile marker to the 159 mile marker.

The patrols over this stretch of highway resulted in 18 speeding violations, four seat belt violations and one driver's license violation.
