After a downhill where my car picked up speed. I was in the process of slowing my car down coming up from the downhill. Motorcycle officer waiting right where he can’t be seen until you’re right on top of him. Said he clocked me at 45 in a 35. He couldn’t even tell what make my car is but I have to believe he can read a radar gun. He didn’t have anything in his hands. This happened today on the way to their civic center. This behavior will certainly cost the city more revenue because groups won’t want to sponsor use of the civic center if their visitors are subject to being caught in a speed trap. I know for sure, our organization won’t. That’s a $4000 loss for them.

Main thoroughfare, school zone?

We were driving through Schertz TX during the noon hour going east on a main thoroughfare. We both had been watching our speed carefully and abiding by the speed limit signs we had seen. We were pulled over by a motorcycle policeman who claimed we were going 36 mph in a 20 mph school zone. Neither of us had noticed any flashing yellow lights nor any school children present. We were driving a rental car with out-of-state license plates. The officer was pleasant enough. We are suspicious that we had fallen into a speed trap.

Definite Speed Trap! Going east on Main St. you approach a nice park on the north side. A speed sign of 45 miles an hour is posted right before the park. within about 200 ft the speed limit drops to 30. At least that’s what the officer said. I clearly saw the officer as I went around the curve. Started to even wave… then I saw the lights of his motorcycle come on. I moved to the right to let him go around me and he followed. I told my wife I thought he might be wanting me to stop. She ask why? I said I don’t know. I am over 65, a retired senior citizen, and disabled. The officer was all business. I asked him where the signs were that reduced the speed? He told me they were near the park coming up to a school. It was Saturday. There was no school. I saw the school zone 20 when flashing sign. Never saw the others. Then I remember seeing TV reports in San Antonio about Schertz speed traps and knew I had just found one.

Main St in school zone

Street in front of what was once Corbett Middle School (now closed) has been replaced by an "alternative School" and the school zone re-activated. I was stopped by a motorcycle officer who supposedly clocked me at 32 MPH during the noon hour. As required by Texas law I presented the officer with both my DL and CHL (concealed Handgun License) which he tossed into my lap, walked to the rear of my vehicle and returned with a ticket for $211 without further ado.
The officer seemed to be irritated by something…..possibly my CHL, Korea veteran license plates ???. I can only surmise, but since it was my first traffic ticket in over sixty years of driving, I’m somewhat ticked off by what I consider rude behavior by a supposedly professional officer.

Sharp curve in front of the school

I’m a senior citizen and had visitors from out of state with me on vacation. We got lost and ended up in Schertz. We were traveling down a main road, and I slowed down considerably because of a sharp turn ahead. Apparently I didn’t slow down enough. The officer claimed he clocked us at 44 miles an hour in a 30 mile per hour school zone. My passenger (another senior citizen) wanted to ask the officer for a look at the radar equipment to prove our speed of 44 mph. I discouraged that because my out of state friend is unfamiliar with how Texas can railroad people into their legal system. (I didn’t want my out of state vacationing senior citizen friend to get a taste of the Texas jail system.)
