An Oklahoma City police officer pulled over Canadian County (OK) Sheriff Chris West for speeding (outside of Canadian County). Almost immediately, he recognizes Sheriff West, who proceeds to demand special treatment, ultimately lecturing - and perhaps threatening/intimidating - the officer, who only gave him a warning. He just happens to be one of the sheriffs who were just with President Trump in the White House a couple of months ago, and also the same sheriff who has long operated a cash seizure trap on his highways that seizes cash from law-abiding Americans.

Thank you very much and God bless you.
Not sure the legal process to shut these down, but they are a blight on our society. I made the mistake of driving through Manderson, WY recently - even Wikipedia notes "The town is widely regarded as a speed trap for tourists heading to Yellowstone National Park." No kidding. I had blown a tire off-road in the hills above town and was driving slow on a spare, and they still nailed me for "speeding." No use fighting it, as the online chatter is that the town judge and prosecutor are as corrupt as the three full-time cops. (Did I mention the town population was 88?)
This is a case where the young officer needs to immediately call for some of his senior officers to handle the situation. Let the Sheriff bluster and spit but get a ticket anyway.
There is a small town in Florida that was known as speed trap. The state made improvements to the highway which no longer goes thru the town anymore.
