In the past, yes.
But mostly it's a case of not seeing very many cops at all during the trip until just after crossing from Pennsylvania into NY- than seeing one car after another pulled over and a stern looking knob in a silly hat lecturing them. (Ever seen the movie "Major Payne"? That's what they remind me of.)

It's an easy money maker for the state, so they have those fuckers swarming like gnats on the expressways. There was one exit in Syracuse that was famous for having at least four troopers at any given moment stacked up and waiting behind a corner. I had to pass them every morning on my way to work, and marveled at how many of them could park in that one little area...

In 2004
the government changed the rules so that local authorities would get the proceeds from any traffic offense fines. As a result the most cash strapped councils are going mental for speeding and parking stuff.
