The backstory:

Motorcycle traffic enforcement troopers were stationed on the freeway near Wattles in Troy when SkyFOX flew overhead and spotted them in action.

According to MSP, the crackdown kicked off quickly.

"We have been out on I-75 for less than an hour. We have already seen speeds of 104 and 101. Average speed has been 94," the MSP Second District account posted on X.

Led by a spotter with a radar gun, motorcycle units gathered in the center of the freeway were then sent out to intercept the speeding drivers.

"They are looking for those driving behaviors that lead to traffic crashes," MSP posted. "Please drive safely."
