Do you live next to the infamous Van Horn speed trap? I was in a car with 5 other college students when we got pulled over in 1987 in VanHorn. I was the only one in the car smart enough to slip on my seatbelt before the officer got to the car and therefor was the only one not to get a ticket. The officer “guided” our car to the nearest mailbox for my 5 friends to deposit their fine payments or they could spend the night in jail.
“Near” by west Texas standards, but I think that is 250 miles away.
Van Horn is basically El Paso.
I’m Permian Basic area.
