It is an honest to goodness memo that came home with the SO at 3AM. I read it and thought I would pass it on. I never in a million years thought that it would be a fake, considering where i got it. ...
hahaha. sorry.

but i dont think anyone was trying to fool anyone. I really believe that the dispatchers at his work believe this to be true also. Unless they are just putting this out to make their drivers slow down to conserve fuel. hahaha. In that case, I would love to get them back.
any ideas?

I was reading through that Snopes thread and that got me thinking about who originates these things.. The memo was copied from the email, and people will blindly spread it, but at the top there is someone pushing an agenda. I would think this one would be started by someone in a state / government job trying to scare people into following the law. It seems weird to spam people with stuff like this, trying to trick them into behaving how you want them to.
Seems more likely to me that it's someone who's just pissed off at the police, and something like this, especially the bit about the "every 10 to 20 minutes" quota, would just drum up animosity towards police.Originally posted by: effowe

I don't see what the fuzz is about the memo. It's just common sense no? You break the law, you get pulled over and issued a ticket. Then you come on ATOT and bitch about getting pulled over even though you were going w/ the flow of traffic, and proceed to calling all the cops pigs.

Heads Up. In July, AnandTech Moderators will launch a 30-day neffing vacation frenzy.
Anand estimates that 9 million dollars in employees hours will be saved for employers while the neffers are on lock down.
There will be 50 Moderators on duty 24/7 patrolling the following Forums AND MORE!
Off Topic
Politics and News
Love and Relationships
Video Cards and Graphics
PC Gaming
Console Gaming
Now, 1 nef above the limit can justify a vacation and every Moderator is supposed to hit the ban button every 10 minutes. They have been issued 30 cases of Red Bull and the basement doors have been locked. They are bringing all their part timers (Admins/writers/Editors) in on full time.
* Post in the proper forum
* No flaming

not very nice to send out BS chain letters either.
If anyone feels the need to share information and feels that because for whatever reason they were important enough to receive a top sekrit memo...check out snopes first.
