Did You Know?: State police issue more than 10K tickets in four days
During that time, state police said they arrested 210 people on DWI charges and investigated 716 crashes, including five fatal crashes. There were 3,508 tickets issued for speeding, 258 for distracted driving, 1,061 seat belt violations, and 301 for violating the Move Over Law.
In Troop B for the same July 4 period, a total of 933 tickets were issued across New York's North Country. These included 360 for speeding, 12 for distracted driving, 74 for seatbelts, 61 for violating the 'move over' law and eight for DWI. Equipment violation tickets totaled 116.
Troop B also investigated 59 crashes, including four personal injury crashes and one fatality in St. Lawrence County.
Unfortunately, the deceased was reportedly not wearing a seatbelt.
Although these violations were the ones targeted during the crackdown, many tickets were issued for other violations, such as an expired inspection or registration.
Extra enforcement by state police over holiday periods is not unusual. These crackdowns are announced ahead of the enforcement period, so drivers shouldn't be surprised to see more patrol vehicles on our highways.
With the Labor Day holiday coming up, drivers throughout the five-county Troop B territory in northern New York State can expect another enforcement crackdown.

Myles Garrett repeatedly declines to address his 8th speeding ticket after citation for driving 100 mph: 'Ask a different question'
Myles Garrett declined to address his latest speeding ticket on Wednesday as he faced media for the first time since being cited for driving 100 mph in his Ferrari. The Cleveland Browns captain and six-time All-Pro defensive end was asked repeatedly about the infraction during media availability at Wednesday's Cleveland Browns practice. Each time he was asked about it, Garrett said that he preferred to discuss football. "I'd honestly prefer to talk about football and this team than anything I'm doing off the field other than the back-to-school-event that I did the other day," Garrett said when first asked about it. When pressed that "people want to know about that," Garrett again deflected. "People want to know a lot of things," Garrett continued. "I try to keep my personal life personal. And I'd rather focus on this team when I can." [Join or create a Yahoo Fantasy Football league for the 2025 NFL season] Garrett faced repeated questions about the citation during his availability and continued to decline to address the situation, including when asked about his role as a leader on the Browns. "Again, you're asking the same question, and I've answered it two different times," Garrett said when pressed again. "I'm gonna need you to ask a different question so I can focus on this team and not this headline you're trying to get out this question that you're asking." Garrett's 8th speeding ticket since joining Browns Garrett was cited on Aug. 9 for driving 100 mph in a 60 mph zone in the Cleveland suburb of Strongsville, Ohio. The incident took place on Saturday morning, a day after the Browns returned home from a preseason road game against the Carolina Panthers. The citation came with a $250 fine. The speeding citation was Garrett's eighth since he joined the Browns as the No. 1 pick in the 2017 NFL Draft. In 2022, Garrett flipped his Porsche and was cited for driving 65 mph in a 45 mph zone leading up to the rollover crash. Garrett sustained a shoulder sprain and biceps strain among other minor injuries in the crash that took place in September that year and sidelined him for Cleveland's Week 4 game against the Atlanta Falcons. Garrett returned to the field the following week and played the rest of the season en route to earning second-team All-Pro honors. Garrett, 29, is entering his ninth season with the Browns as their best player and the veteran leader on the team. He signed a four-year, $160 million extension with the Browns in the offseason and will entered the 2025 season among the favorites to win Defensive Player of the Year for the second time in his career.
