Canaan, NH is a town which has such high property taxes that people who live there cannot even sell their houses to get out of there. This town spends a lot of money to have their own police department, which employs lots of cops who seem to have very little to do, so they pass their time by bothering and ticketing passing motorists. Often they exaggerate the alleged offense to make themselves appear more important. Boycott Canaan, NH.
