The annual campaign will target reckless drivers, texting while driving, speeding, following too closely and failure to pay full time and attention on the Fairfax County Parkway. During the same time period last year, officers issued 714 citations on the Parkway for offenses in these categories.

Different vehicles including motorcycles, Mustangs, Camaros, Impalas, pick-up trucks and other unmarked and marked police vehicles will be used while monitoring drivers on the Fairfax County Parkway. Motor squad officers along with patrol officers from several district stations throughout the county will be assigned specific enforcement duties along the parkway throughout the week.

The purpose of the initiative is to reduce the overall speed on the parkway and to reduce the number of property damage, injury and fatal crashes.”

Here’s the full story: “Too Short will NOT be prosecuted for felony drug possession … law enforcement sources say –according TMZ.

We broke the story … Too Short was arrested Wednesday for DUI. He made a failed attempt to escape (see video below) and was taken to jail, where cops say they found drugs in the back of the black and white.  He was booked for felony drug possession.

We’ve learned … the L.A. County District Attorney has REJECTED the felony drug case, because cops only found a very small amount of drugs — which they say is meth. Given that Short does not have a felony record, the D.A. decided not to prosecute and sent the case over to the L.A. City Attorney for misdemeanor review.

We’re told the City Attorney will look at the case … probably next week.

FYI … Short insists he was not in possession of drugs, and whatever was found in the back of the cop car was left by the prior arrestee who involuntarily hitched a ride to the pokey.

“A Northern Virginia teenager is facing reckless driving charges after police say she slammed into three children.

A 7-year-old is still in the hospital, and an 8-year-old and 10-year-old were also hurt.

Police say the 15-year-old driver had her learner’s permit and was in the middle of a driving lesson with one of her parents, but that’s when things got out of control.

Police in Ashburn say the teen sped up, jumped a curb, and ran onto a sidewalk where the children were playing.”

We’re told when the L.A. County Sheriff’s Dept. concludes its investigation … the case WILL be referred to the D.A. for review and possible prosecution.

TMZ broke the story … one of Bieber’s neighbors claims the singer was tearing through their Calabasas community Tuesday at speeds approaching 100 mph, and when the neighbor confronted Bieber he allegedly spit in the guy’s face and threatened to kill him.

Several prosecutors in the D.A.’s Office tell TMZ … spitting crimes are taken seriously for 2 reasons — first, it’s considered an extremely aggressive and “disgusting act,” and second, it poses potentially serious health concerns.

We’re told Bieber’s neighbor wants the singer prosecuted and will fully cooperate with authorities.”

Virginia Traffic Attorney Leslee Tingle comments on Bieber’s high speeds.

“Justin Bieber is in the headlines again!  TMZ reports that a neighbor of Biebers witnessed him flying 100 mph through his community.  In Virginia, going over 100 mph will likely land you in jail.  Going that speed in residential communities is almost assuredly going to land you behind bars.  Judges see those communities as especially vulnerable to high speeds, where children are playing in the streets and residents are walking their pets.”
