Rail Road Tracks in Old Town   Helena, Alabama

Ticketing speeders in Helena has long been an over obsession in Helena, but they have now begun aggressively ticketing drivers who do not "yield" to pedestrians in the the cross walk for a $160 fine. I received one of these tickets when driving with my wife recently. Neither of us recalled seeing anyone even close to the crosswalk. I was given the ticket after waiting for a train to pass and any pedestrians were long passed. I requested to see the officer's video camera but was told I would have to get an attorney. What a trap!

Within Silver Lakes subdivision on Oakleaf Drive   Helena, Alabama

Typically they set up near the rear construction entrance and are waiting for speeders as they come over the first hill. Speed limit is 20 MPH and it is almost impossible to go that slow when topping the hill.

Highway 261 coming into Old Town   Helena, Alabama

Police will sit a car on this large stretch of road, from the old Brickyard all the way over two set of Railroad tracks into the new "Old Town" business area. Plenty of well hidden spot for officers to park, and no specific time frame of activity. This stretch generates a lot of money for Helena. Speed limit changes frequently. Also a prime spot for random "License Check" roadblocks.
