Q: Three cars passed me on Highway 101 between Palo Alto and Highway 87 last Thursday, going at least 100 miles per hour. We need some incentives to give the CHP more financial assistance in paying off-duty officers to do freeway supervision.

A: State rules do not permit paying off-duty officers to monitor our freeways with extra fees. Usually, that is done on an overtime basis or regular patrols. Now get ready for some disturbing trends.
