Livonia, MI — In one 8-hour shift, and on one stretch of I-275 in Livonia, Michigan State Police wrote over 300 tickets for speeding, seatbelt violations, and other miscellaneous “violations” designed to collect revenue from drivers.

Five people were arrested and 202 drivers got off with a minor scolding (verbal warning) instead of the standard practice of extortion.
The typical definition of a pirate, as defined by Merriam-Webster, is: someone who attacks and steals from a ship at sea. Attacking and stealing from a person on land, via a motorized vehicle, on a public road, would make someone a road pirate.
