i was wondering if there are lots of carpool lane and ramp metering violators in LA metro area ; i'm considering turning into a regular violator of these devices to speed up my commute and enjoy my individual freedom.

Then what are the chances to be caught by the CHP if doing so.

Thanks.

Pretty good chance of getting caught really.
I see cruizers and bikes waiting in little wide spots looking for them. Pretty large fine, what is it now $481 - double that if you are in a construction zone.

The CHP is generally pretty on top of it and this is me speaking from experience. It's always on those instances where I'm driving 80 or so (when there is no traffic), that I get caught by the CHP. You'd think out of the thousands and thousands on the road that you won't get caught. Think again.
