So they have planes to track people now too?

I thought they just used helicopters because they're quicker to dispatch in the EVENT someone runs, not "let's fly this plane around until someone speeds".

But I don't live there either...

Around Cincy they have planes that will run radar. There will be a patrol car just sitting on the side of the road and the plane call down and have the patrol car pull you over.

planes are alot cheaper to operate than a chopper.

What are you opinions?
My opinion is don't ride with people who say that they're going to run and it isn't an issue, or don't lie when stopped and make sure that the people with you know that you aren't going to cover for them.

Always look for the bear in the air.
We've had that debate on a local forum and people in the know report that it takes seconds to get clearance, during which the helicopter is unlikely to lose sight.

So say the Ontario Provincial Police who operate a few and occasionally rent additional planes on heavy weekends.
