Here's a briefing on the Village of New Rome: 1 Block x 2 Blocks (less than 2/10 of a mile on the major route), 60 residents (18 of which are minors), 14 full time police officers and the city council just voted to add 10 more full timers, the police force rakes in $400,000 annually in ticket fines. The thugs have pulled people over for mud on license plates, crooked county stickers, dim license plate light....they handcuff 80 year old ladies, come to your work and arrest you if you don't show up to pay your fine at their little mobile trailer/courthouse. It's the Village from Hell. Literally.

Sounds like quite a little scam. I'll bet the city employees are well taken care of.

Sounds like some places in Texas that I know.

A friend of ours used to calibrate the speed guns used here. Later, while driving through the town, he got busted for driving 31.1 mph in a 30 zone. They are unbelievable.

New Rome. That must be the place Dan Aykroyd made the move about, called "Nothing But Trouble."
