MO 291- Lake Winnebago Lake Winnebago, Missouri

The very short stretch of interstate running alongside (not through) Lake Winnebago is more than just a speed trap. It's a revenue trap. I was pulled over (lights and siren) by a Lake Winnebago Police Officer - after I was already in Lee's Summit - for not having a license plate on the front of my car. My husband was driving, but Interestingly, the officer ran my license as well. The most convincing thing to support the fact that this trap is not intended to protect the public, but rather exists for the main purpose of generating revenue is this: I was pulled over and received a $100 fine for something that no other officer has ever even mentioned during past stops. On the back of my citation, everything from dog barking (yes, dog barking), to a tail light out, to 10 miles over the speed limit is $100, with the following exceptions....failure to wear a seatbelt: $10, Failure to properly restrain a child: $54, Failure to wear a motorcycle helmet: $25. And by the way, my record is otherwise clean. Why not issue a warning and give me a chance to fix it?? Thus proving, I think, that in Lake Winnegabo the things that can kill you are less imperative than grabbing money for the things that won't. Shame on you and your highway robbery, Lake Winnebago

M-291 Highway Lake Winnebago, Missouri

Lake Winnebago has M291 Highway from the Jackson/Cass county line South to M-58 Highway. Part of that roadway is 45 mph so watch the signs. The section of roadway from 163rd Street South is in the "city" of Lake Winnebago, ONLY the roadway. As a 4th Class city in Missouri they must START a persuit of a violator from INSIDE their city. If they are sitting OFF the highway right-of-way running their radar and from this position they persue you and write you a ticket the ticket is ILLEGAL. They sit in the church lot at 171st and 291 and in some trees North of 171st Street. Both of these locations are NOT in their city!!! The Winnebago police work 291 Highway HARD for their revenue.

State Highway 291 Lake Winnebago, Missouri

Watch your speed anywhere in Lake Winnebago on 291. The main portin of Lake Winnebago is in a valley on the lake. If you don't ride your brakes going down the hill, they will get you. I personally know two people who hae been issued citations for traveling one mile per hour over the posted speed limit. Another friend was issued a ticket for failing to dim his lights for the police car that was sitting on the shoulder with all his lights, including his running lights off. Be aware also that Lake Winnebago annexed a few miles of highway to the south of town. They like to sit on the shoulder there as well.

291 highway (north of 58 Highway & south of 150 highway) Northern Cass county Lake Winnebago, Missouri

Lake Winnebago is "called" a city, but is really nothing more than a lake community/homes association with a tiny police force (about 4 policemen tops). They are located on 291 highway in northern cass county (right near the border). The Winnebago police sit on 291 highway (the highway that goes past the entrance to the lake) at all hours (most especially at night) , they also drive up & down the mile of highway (that is their territory) cruising for speeders. A favorite hiding spot of theirs is to sit around a bend of the highway that is right next to the lake (& just barely south of the lake entrance)& they catch people as they come around the bend from the south, also they can be seen to sit just north of the lake entrance in a driveway of a local residence, also they sit at the old 291 entrance trolling for speeders as well. Also they can be seen sitting on 163 street (south of the lake entrance) scanning 291 highway for speeders. Odds are they are only using radar as my radar detector detects being hit by their "instant on" pulses ....it seems that they only use the "Instant on" radar pulse technique..... I dont know if they have Lidar yet. It is possible, but doubtfull. The lake winnebago police force (if you could call it that) is WELL known by local residents as a speedtrap money-making machine for thier little comunity! Speed limit is 45 through their territory & they will enforce it unmercifully. I have lived just south of this Lake community all my life & routinely drive past it on a nightly basis (on the way to & from work). A favorite pastime of theirs late at night (when there is not much traffic) is to sit hidden, wait til a vehicle passes & then pull out behind , follow untill you near the limits of thier territory, looking for any reason to pull you over (you dont even have to be speeding!) , and pull you over. I have NEVER gotten a speeding ticket from Winnebago police (because i know of their unmercifull ,exploitive speedtrap policies), but I HAVE been followed & pulled over many many many MANY times... the reasons are always ones that cant be proven easily, like "You drove over the center line" etc. etc.. I only post this to warn others about their unfair & harrassing policies.
