Why in the world does it

Why in the world does it matter what type of sheriff's vehicle stops you when you are caught speeding? If you are exceeding the speed limit, you are breaking the law and deserve to be caught. It does not matter if the officer is driving a Hummer, Crown Victoria, Lumina, or Citation. If you break the law, you need to be accountable for your actions.

I have lived in Chanhassen for five years, and I have appreciated the increase in traffic stops because it seems to have reduced the number of speeding vehicles on Powers Boulevard between T.H. 5 and T.H. 7.

Please bring the Dodge Charger back--Councilmember Bryan Litsey is one hundred percent correct! Without documented complaints, there should have been no request made by the city to the Sheriff's office to take the Charger out of service.

Please, if you drive through Chanhassen at speeds exceeding the limit, please slow down so that we can live peaceful and safe lives. Follow the law.

This is ridiculous, once

This is ridiculous, once again, something that works is changed because of a vocal minority. Personally, I like the idea that there are more traffic stops in Chanhassen and I always felt very reassured when I saw the black Charger parked on Kerber near the school crossing. Do we not care about the safety of our children anymore? Too many people are too self absorbed to care about traffic laws and common courtesy and this type of behaviour needs to be stopped before someone gets killed. I'm sure if the city decided to poll the citizens it would be proven that the community of Chanhassen overwhelming supports the undercover Charger and the safety and security it represents.
