1BAD69Z Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 I am always seeing cops on 270 going west toward Sawmill or coming east from Sawmill. They sit in these gaps in the concrete wall in the middle of the freeway. Its bullshit because you cant see any of their car until your passed them! So watch yourself when you pass there I think that the only gap in the wall on both sides. :bs: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ODoyle Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 +1 i have seen them too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTQ B4U Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 It's easy once you know where they are. I can see the light bars on the Dublin cops between Sawmill and 161. Fuck 'em all :finger: Sometimes coming eastbound, you'll see them on the left berm out in the open but the catch is the road crests between the water towers and 315 so watch traffic in the fast lane. I always watch for brake lights. 99% effective for me as even an old lady doing 55mph in the center lane will hit the brakes when she sees a cop. Just keep your eyes open.

Tripleskate Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 I've seen a handful of Patrol Cruisers parked on the berm ~2 or so miles East from Sawmill before. The past couple of times running through there (on the way to the Mazda dealership) it's been pretty empty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimTheAzn Posted June 14, 2008 Report Share Posted June 14, 2008 If you speed anywhere on 270, you pretty much deserve a ticket. +1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When that section of 270 was first reopened, I remember thinking, "that'll be a PERFECT place for cops to hide out" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTQ B4U Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 Get to know where these spots are and look for their light bars....the tops are visible from a distance. also, once you know where they are you can watch traffic up ahead for break lights. I do this on 270 in Dublin and being alert is 2x better than my V1. I also tend to keep to the center lanes as when I see a cop on either side, I can usually dodge over and block his line of sight with another car or truck. Today I was heading from Sawmill to 33/Marysville, saw the light bar, jumped to the far right lane, sped up to 80+mph and moved to the right side of a semi in the center lane. I was never in the Troopers view or line of sight, hopped on 33 to Avery Road and essencially did the same thing to the Dublin cop that waits under the bridge at Avery Rd. taggin people headed to work at Honda / Post Rd. Merged on at 70-75mph, could see him up in the far distance but moved right after entering 33, behind an SUV and exited without barely even being visible to him.

Guest bimmer95 Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 The bad part is that some of the OSP guys will get out of their cars and peak around the side of the wall like freaking snipers. By the time you're close enough to see the top of the light bar, they can nail you with the laser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTQ B4U Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 I've seen that, but then when they do that you will for sure see brake lights up ahead, nose diving SUV's and occasionally old folks will over-react and swerve over 1/2 lane The bad part is that some of the OSP guys will get out of their cars and peak around the side of the wall like freaking snipers.

Guest bimmer95 Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 Absolutely, I always watch ahead for brake lights, but I pretty much just set the cruise control at ~70MPH anywhere on 270 regardless. The constant speedtraps are just too thick not to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
