US Highway 27 near Boat Ramp
Lake Hamilton PD hides on side road behind large Doctor’s office sign just past boat ramp or at entrance to boat ramp itself. Location is just before Dundee when traveling southbound on US 27. Usually at night and officer never has any sort of lights on. Also, trap is just around a tree-obscured corner so you’ll never see them until they get you. Officer actually threatened arrest of myself for reckless endangerment and my sleeping passenger as an accomplice for 27 over at 2am with not another car in sight.
