It wasn't Rosendale but it sounds like the same set up. They perch themselves in a spot where they can catch people as they are leaving town and ratcheting up their speed and they pounce on them. The jackass even said something to him like, "I bet you thought because you left the curbed streets behind you were in the clear, didn't you?" What a jerk.

Considering the ossifer (sp-intentional) said that, I'll bet that he has court duty that day.

When you're coming into Rosendale on 23 from the east (Rosendale is just east of Ripon), you're coming down a small hill. The speed drops from 55 to 35 in a heartbeat. If you're not doing 35 or under when you hit the sign, the cop in the unmarked cop car sitting at the hardware store parking lot on the left side (coming into town) joyfully turns on his lights & siren, saying, "Got me another one!" and whips out his ticket book. I saw it happen in front of me the 1st time I was on the road & slammed my brakes on hard, just in case there was another officer around. From then on, I reduced my speed to 28 about a 1/2 a mile from the sign. If I got honked at, I didn't care. I've never gotten a ticket.

His favorite cars: red ones. They just *LOOK* fast.
