ROADBLOCKS ARE SCHEDULED: The Federal Government has given a grant to the Ky. Transportation Department of $200,000 for seat belt checks May 19 and June 1. LawReader sources say there is no bounty per ticket.  The money is for overtime.  However, a district court connection told us that in order to get overtime, Ky. State Troopers have to write at least 3 tickets.  Whether the overtime in this seat belt program will follow the same rules, we don’t know.  There may be road blocks with rewards to those who are wearing their seat belt
