Watch out for Fort Sumner, New Mexico.
Police officers don’t have to write tickets any longer - the city just needs to mount a few red-light cameras in town and watch the money come rolling in!
30 MPH driving through town and a couple of adjustments on 301. Used the road often for 20 years, even with NY plates, and I was never stopped. The flea market was my rest stop, a quick walk around, pick up some farm fresh vegetables and then get back on the road. I don’t remember seeing anyone ever being pulled over. Obey the road signs,and everything is fine. Then try to go over the bridge by the Beach on Anna Marie Island that has a 5mph speed limit where if you are doing 7-8 mph, the sheriff car is waiting for you.
Years ago I was pulled over by an officer in a small town and he asked to search my car. I only consented because I was young and stupid and felt intimidated by him. I never did drugs or drank. In fact I was in business attire. Well I had done laundry a few days before and had spilt some of the white powdered laundry detergent in the floorboard behind my seat. He picks it up and says I’m going to have to test this to see if it’s cocaine. If you smelled the stuffed it was very obvious what it was. I said fine do it but he never did. He let me go probably realizing what an idiot he’d been. Funny thing is I was working with a former retired DPS trooper in that area and he called him and told him who I was. Never had trouble around there after that and even got to razz the officer about it later when I worked on iinvestigations in that area. Those small town cops can pretty much get away with whatever they want uf no one holds them accountable.
Is there a good speed trap app?
Suspended with pay? Typical.
He should be in prison!
Waldo has a reputation which precedes it. It’s known for just two things. The flea market and the speed traps. I’ve know about its reputation for the speed traps long before I moved here from Arizona 3 years ago. My wife used to warn me about driving through Waldo when we would come to Florida to visit her family, where we live now, 10 miles south of Waldo.
I don’t read the local news much and this is the first I’ve heard about this corruption charge with the police chief in Waldo. No hard to believe, that’s for sure.
Selma, TX used to be like that. The PD station was on a curve on IH 35 and the cops had a radar gun they used inside the second floor and would radio to the PD on the road.
Everyone in central Texas would drive under the posted speed there, but out of town people would ignore the limits and get tickets on a daily basis.
Whereabouts in FL is Waldo?
We need a country that serves American citizens. Instead our country serves only the status quo and establishment. We serve politicians, cops, other countries, mil-ind-complex, bankers, campaign donors, global corporations, gun control, illegals, but rarely average citizens.
