Gould, Arkansas Speed Traps

We was pulled over with our camper. Was told we was going 70, had cruise on 68. Office said speed was 55, we hadn’t seen a speed sign for a really long time. Was just going with most of the other cars, except the ones passing us. Just as we meant him a white Ark. car went around us. In fact when he made the U turn the white car pulled over thinking it was him, but he went past him to get us with our IA plates. To far to go back and fight this, of course they know this. The cost is double what it is here in IA. He was only after speed, he checked my husband had his seatbelt on, he didn’t (medical excuse). Then he told us it was 55 till you hit a streach of 4 lane then it will be 65. Wrong it was 60, so he didn’t even know what it would be.

I was pulled over for speeding 51 mph in a 40 mph zone on Hwy 65. Unfortunately, I was not speeding at all. Moreover, the Gould police officer in question allowed two Arkansas-tagged vehicles to fly through the zone, then pulled us over with our Florida license plate. Apparently, this municipality does this to pay for their police force, knowing that out-of-state motorists are more likely to pay the exhorbitant fines and less likely to contest the doubtful professionalism of this force.
