State Troopers Go Beyond Speeding Tickets with DeWine Initiative
/It’s not just drinking and driving that should give you pause before getting behind the wheel of a car.
Now the Ohio State Highway Patrol is taking big steps to remove illegal drugs and firearms from the roads.
“The OSHP is an important partner in Ohio’s work to prevent violent crime and to hold drug traffickers accountable as part of my administration’s RecoveryOhio initiative,” Gov. Mike DeWine stated.
Not just looking to give out speeding tickets, troopers are now identifying areas during the traffic stop that may indicate criminal activity.
“In 2020, the OSHP investigated a wide range of felony offenses that led to 6,133 felony arrests,” as reported by The Times Leader.
Whether you are going on a road trip across the country or on a short spring break getaway, it is vital to follow all laws behind the wheel so you avoid being put behind bars.
