425 South Bound
Before you get into the depth of the Sicily island town and notice the geographic and scenic change, the 425 highway mph of 65 mph drops to 55. As the scenery changes and you begin to slow down a Sicily island cop is literally backed into a gravel drive that’s shaded with trees and shrubbery that’s used for a power or electrical company and pulls people over relentlessly. I was going 66 in a 55 and received a ticket that was $275. I’d have a 89 in 70 ticket outside of New Orleans and the price was only $175, 11 mph over is ticky tacky to being with, but the ticket costing $275 is straight up theft. If I hadn’t slowed because of the change in scenery I can’t image what 15+ mph over would have been in this dead beat town. This is legal extortion executed in order to town fund this town’s government. They have a total population of 526 people. 5 tickets a day of $275 pays their 3 police officers salary for the day and keeps the lights on in their 1500 sqft “courthouse”.
