First day of the new school year and I didn't see the sign above the road for school zone. Got me doing 35 in a 25 school zone. Thankfully he didn't put that it was a school zone on the ticket. But the process of actually taking care of the ticket? Holy shit. You'd think in this day and age you could take care of things online. Nope. Phone calls, paper trail, etc. PITA.
January 11, 20223 yr Diboll and their fucked up cameras can rot in hell. Estelline and their $60k cop car always makes me laugh. There is but one purpose for that sumbeech, and it could be achieved in a Ford Focus.
January 11, 20223 yr Franklin, TX....I think they've had the same cop post up outside his house (assuming) in the actual driveway for at least 10 years now.

January 11, 20223 yr He didn't care about us when he was walking around, just pullin' women over in a speed trap town.
January 11, 20223 yr Lometa, TX is a charmless butthole town with a café, a gas station, a post office and three high performance police cruisers. They camp right behind the 30 mph signs. May their eyes be filled with biting larvae.
January 11, 20223 yr Caldwell, Texas. 39 in a 35. Gigantic pain in the ass just to take care of the damn thing. Stupid redneck fucks.

I got one in Auburn, NE before the game when Ricky devoured their souls. Mailed a check a couple of weeks later and confirmed that it cleared a few weeks later. A couple of years after that I got pulled over in Austin and was informed there was a warrant for my arrest in NE. I faxed them a copy of the cancelled check. Not good enough, their records indicate it was not paid. Took about 2 months to clear it up.

January 11, 20223 yr Remember when 60 minutes ran a story about the Selma-Schertz speed trap on 35. I think the feds basically shut it down by saying that local municipalities couldn’t write tickets on interstate highway. Texas Monthly has a story on it too called “The Perfect Speed Trap” if you want to read more about it.

I think the feds basically shut it down by saying that local municipalities couldn’t write tickets on interstate highway. Texas Monthly has a story on it too called “The Perfect Speed Trap” if you want to read more about it. It's been several years ago, but there was this podunk little town in NE Oklahoma that sat on a highway/turnpike interchange (I think the turnpike ended there). It had an Indian smoke shop, a really fucking big truck stop, and some 18-wheeler service businesses (probably owned by the truck stop) and I don't think the town had anything else. There was an overpass and the cops/town setup the speed limit signs to bust you coming off of the overpass. They were making well over 50% of their town's revenue from that one stop, and it was such a pain in the ass and the signs were setup to fuck you over (you had to brake hard as soon as you saw the signs), that eventually the state legislature did something about it. I don't know what the legislation was, but it was something about you couldn't fund your town off of fucking speeding tickets or whatever. it was fairly scandalous. And if they were doing seizures, it wouldn't surprise me, because there had to be a lot of meth moving through that area (Arkansas, Missouri, and Kansas were't that far away).
January 11, 20223 yr I've been in Texas since 1994 and have only gotten two speeding tickets. The first was in 1996 in Sarita, on 77 right before you enter the long stretch of nothing that is the King Ranch. I heard at the time that area was especially fond of collecting ticket revenue. The second was 2003 in Alvarado, and that town can go fuck itself.

These tickets made up over 50 percent of the town’s general fund. Texas has had a speed trap law on the books since 1975. It applies to towns with a population under 5,000. If traffic fines make up over 30% of the towns general revenue then any amount over 30% has to be remitted to the state.
January 11, 20223 yr Cumby, TX. Fuckers there have white emblems on white SUV’s makes it almost impossible to tell them apart from other cars. Pretty sure the towns only revenue comes from tickets they write on I-30
January 11, 20223 yr Seriously no Martindale reference yet? Worst speed trap in all of Texas, it goes straight from 70 to 35 mph and the tickets support the whole city I think.
January 11, 20223 yr Giddings used to be pretty bad but hasn't seemed as bad lately. And I reserve the right to get pissed at speed traps because cops are basically never near school zones while dipshits are flying by at 50 in a 25 during low light conditions while kids are walking to school. Popping people for 54 in a 45 two miles down the road is infuriating because of that.
January 11, 20223 yr Popular Post Back when I lived in Weatherford, there was this tree that the state troopers camped out under just east of the exit for Brock. They caught shit tons of folks... One day I drove by and the tree was lying on the ground. Apparently someone got busted then went back and cut it down so the troopers wouldn't have their shade any more...

Popping people for 54 in a 45 two miles down the road is infuriating because of that. The cops used to be pretty good about this around Highland Park Elementary, sitting right at the bottom of the Hancock Bridge and tagging folks when they first come in sight at the cap of the bridge and don't have time to slow down once they see the cop. I don't mind those speed traps, especially since there are a lot of kids walking or biking to school in that area.
